I would say do neither. Take the 1k$ split that into two college I’d camps. Can’t convince me otherwise these days that the only people who should do these types of showcases are the kids on lower ranked club teams that get very little colleges watching them play.
Definitely Juniors over UA150! The top D1 coaches were at Juniors. You just have to be realistic about kids talent. If not D1 level, don’t waste your money here.
How do we know if our kid is D1 level?
Ask whoever is in charge of recruiting at your club. If they don't know, or won't be honest with you, then to be honest you have an uphill battle in front of you.
By recruiting year, if a kid is D1 playing level ? You and your club would most likely know ability of the player by then. However, there is high D1 and low D1s. So, your club recruiting specialist, should be able to give you some feedback as to where your kid would be able to go and play lacrosse in college. If not D1, there are so many options and most kids will be able to play somewhere if they are a decent player on LI. D1 is not the be all, end all of college lacrosse. Just try to figure out realistically the level of play your kid is, and spend your money wisely in pursuing “the dream”.
Hopefully , lacrosse opens college doors that would not otherwise be open for your kid! That should be the real objective. Good Luck!
