What’s the difference between the Players Open in October and the Juniors Open in June? LILJ runs it now?
Money Grabs.
No coaches are looking at this grade, even next summer. Good events if your daughter wants extra reps but that's all it is
Coaches aren't looking at them live, but they will look at film from this summer early next fall. If you regularly play on a top 10 team, you probably already have good film, but if you play on a lower level team or ride the bench on a top team, this is an opportunity to get some good film.
Also, playing well at one of these events pretty much guarantees you getting into it the following year for when it matters. Not a big deal for top players on top teams, but can help others.
