Is the selection process for Jake Reed, Black Card and Showtime also not fraught with politics? C'mon, there is politics in all of it. Look at the younger Baltimore UA team. 7 clubs and 10 schools are represented. That is pretty varied. Still, the best way to get evaluated is by playing with your team(s) in games and tournaments and individually at prospect days. Those are the two places where your dollar goes the farthest. |
