Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI think your advice is misleading and not applicable to all. My kid plays on an ECNL team (no not Susa) and has had 4 phone calls with college coaches (at the coaches request) this season. One was with a coach she targeted, the other 3 were with coaches that saw her play in a game where they were there to see someone else, but she stood out to them. She's only 14 and honestly, we thought those schools were out of her reach-guess not. 2 Big East, 1ACC and 1 Patriot-each and every one asked if she would be playing at PDA and San Diego and they were all planning to attend both. They also said they would like her to go to their ID clinics-2 offered to waive the fee, the other 2 didn't say anything about it-just to have her coach call and confirm that she was interested in attending before she registered online.
So our experience so far-East Coast schools go to West Coast Showcases, Unsolicited interest really does exist and schools have targeted players they're watching at their ID clinics.
- the only decent team other than SUSA is PDA and East Meadow at U15 that would be in PDA/San Diego. So I assume you are EM or PDA White
- there are probably 2-3 kids on each team that would attract interest
- there is only one kid on each team that would get multiple call requests from the head coach
Either is is totally fabricated, and based on last years story, or you are a just about asking to expose your kid to other teammates and coaches.

Instead of having their own dedicated tournament these teams are now relegated to the fourth tier of a different league's tournament. These teams will not get any more exposure in terms of coaches and may even get less. Wake up people.
