With the exception of Legrush and Express….tonight, are final tryouts done for this group?
Legacy East is later this week.
Nice, but who is really moving the last year?
People who decide that being on the field to be seen is more important than cool gear or brand names?
Okay, better late than never. Ideally for a team showcase event there should be at a 5 poles and 2 LsMs, 1 fogo or 2 if they are 50/50, 6 offensive mids, 2 dmids, 5 attack and 2 goalies. That is if exposure is the goal. You can add another attack and goalie, and a middie. But that is it. And everyone has to play.
And if a team is having supplemental tryouts or looking for players on social media posts. Imho, you might want to do some research, because exposure while losing 10-2 is not good.
I'm not sure you know how exposure works. College coaches don't care if your club team wins. They are also smart enough to recognize talented players on mediocre teams.
Brand. Names. Don't. Matter. Anymore.
Agreed, name on the jersey doesn't mean much at team showcases. But how much exposure is an attack going to get if losing 10 -2 and everything is happening in your own end?
Less but if you're relying only on club games to be seen you're not going to get very far anyway. It's just a piece of the puzzle. And still better than not even being on the field on an "elite" team.
The piece of the puzzle is not going to a team showcase and getting blown out. If your son's team is overmatched…nobody is making head turning plays. So if your son's coach selects events they don’t belong at, it’s a waste. And it has nothing to do with the Jersey or wins or losses, it’s about playing competitively vs good competition and not playing over your head. It’s same thing for the team winning 14-2, you think the college doesn’t look at that differently, of course they do. A coach made a point at a recent showcase, pick your highlights carefully, because we look at both sides of the play and know weak competition vs a strong play.
What you're forgetting is that it only takes one coach to see one play at one moment to start a relationship. You're both overthinking all this. Get on lists. FIlter through the form letter prospect day invites to find the real ones. Go to those. See how it goes.
