D1 coach from Elite University here. I attend one tournament a year and it's NLF. If a kid scores a goal at NLF: Scholarship! Makes a save: Scholarship! Now, not every kid at NLF plays a ton. But if an NLF coach "makes a call" for a player: Scholarship + NIL $$$. It's how the system works. Some coaches look for truly elite speed and athleticism. But real winners build teams based on who played NLF in 8th, 9th, 10th grade. |
