We are signed up for the Maryland Showcase too. What is so bad about it other than the obvious price lol? I swear we need to create a review forum for these showcases so us newbies can look and not waste our $. Ugh!
I spoke to a few people who have gone. They said you get a d3 coach to coach your team. You play against other teams and coaches aren’t really engaged in watching. It’s a big hang out for them. Coaches stay off the side together not watching and socialize. Also mostly D3 teams are there which is not how they advertise. My daughter is looking to go to D 1 teams. Doesn’t really help us. Asked for my money back in February. She never responded. Good for the kids looking to go D3, just not what we were looking at. Feel it’s gonna be a waste of 1000$ and two days we could’ve went somewhere else.
Before signing up for anything, try asking people who have been through the process before. You Could try asking on a site like this.
My daughter is past the recruiting age process now and we wasted countless $$s on many “money grab” showcases!! Enough probably to pay a years tuition of college! Spend your money on good training and limit the “showcases”. The Most important part is your club Fall/Summer tournaments and the extras like UA/AS if selected.
You can target extra stuff where the actual college coaches Your daughter is interested in getting in front of is at. (I.e. Lacrosse Masters for high academic schools) Save the $s from showcases and use it to attend the individual college camps of your daughters interest. Make sure to have a good recruiting profile set up somewhere like Sports recruits and self market to get daughters info. And game schedule In front of coaches before the tournaments. Good Luck!
