I’ve never seen such a group of disgruntled parents, just because your kid did not make a team doesn’t mean you need to put the event or events down. If your paying attention to the obvious trends, more teams mean more money for the people running these events. It also means more teams, more exposure for your daughter. Yes, one team might be the clear A team, but there are also A players being held back because of politics, this gives more opportunity for other girls to get in front of colleges and get her chance. These events will always be dominated by clubs that run the events, by having a second team gives the top players from other clubs a chance to compete as well. I would think this is good for everyone. Many people stated the colleges know the top tier kids, this lets them see the second tier players.
Ever consider it isn’t politics and some kids are just better anyway and team they play for is better than your kid or kids team? There’s a reason the A teams are dominated by the same few clubs.
And now even more kids added to the “watch list” what a joke.
A player from our town was added yesterday who was cut from the JV team. I wonder the criteria being used for these lists? At this point I don’t think it is accurate anymore. Should be much shorter.
To the point of AS and NYSR adding all of these 24 spots does the same this watch list is doing. Attracting eyeballs and $$ but not really helping keep the talent level where these events used to strive for.
