Well let's back up and remind ourselves that if anyone is losing money at organizing lax events, they are doing a poor job. These cats (event company owners) are all making great money. So of course it's a money grab but by extension, so is every tournament and every skills camp.

I don't think there is a ton of value for MD based 6th graders, in the Apex events. If your kid is playing AA ball or above, he already has access to every resource Apex is selling. And given the turnover rate in collegiate coaching, how much time do I want to spend courting a college coach to watch my kid in 6th grade.

Make no mistake, the Apex events (like Trilogy) are in the I-95 corridor not FOR US, but for the rest of the kids around the country who are looking for the same level of access to coaching talent (and opponents talent) that our boys are all used to receiving.

Very fair assessment
