What I am gleaning from this thread is that if your kid plays for a club other than YJ and makes the top team, she must be a student. However, it does not guarantee she will play much. Not very encouraging.
Yup. To be fair, the All American team is equally biased (if not more) to Jesters players. Its the reality of these all star events.
That being said, when the girls get older, these events have very little impact in recruiting. Girls who play for any of the top 4 LI clubs will have no problem getting exposure in front of the top coaches. Playing with your club, invite-only showcases, prospect days will all much bigger role in getting exposure.
These events are really only helpful for kids from non-core areas (think west coast and midwest) who don't play on top teams and have trouble getting exposure.
