Blackcard was the individual showcase day put on by Adrenaline? When did you (or your son's coach) first submit an application? [/quote]

Interesting you should ask. Our son heard from an older friend who went last year it was a blast and great event. We asked his club coach to recommend him in the Fall. His club coach did it but also told us with emphasis this was a waste of time and money. A waste of a day and $100 ?!? Blah blah Jake Reed, blah blah Top 205, etc. Like basically everything else his club coach was wrong and just referring us to the other expensive crap where our club had a relationship. This was a fabulous first class event. Adrenaline I walked away from believing runs the best events...again, our team didn't go to Platinum Cup and I would not be shocked to understand later that the Platinum Cup was also awesome, competitive and run first class.
