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.
Yes, and I am done with the debate. To each his own and good luck to all. because agree or disagree, doesn’t matter. I am of the opinion that apart from the starters or kids that play meaningful minutes on the AA teams, nobody should expect to get calls on Sept 1. If they come in great. The fall is the time to get on a team where your son gets the most minutes, find good showcases, and pick a few prospect days. The clock is on and you can’t turn it back time. Maximize all the opportunities in the next 10 months.
Agree with this. Minutes are more important IF you don’t care where you play college lax. But if your goal is the upper crust of d1 or d3 you have to be on a good team AND get good minutes. For 90% of people they shouldn’t be sweating the whole college process and just enjoy it
