    Oakwood off to Colorado for a GDA showcase end of this week!!! 4 teams, how many wins total?
    Not many, so hopefully they Showcase well. That is the point after all. Although not easy to showcase if you’re getting blown off the field.

      That’s true but take a look at the coaches list.

        they'll lose a lot. Finishing at the top of a weak East conference matches them up against the top of the other conferences. No offense to them, but let's see if they can even hang with some of the top teams in the country. Obviously doubtful.

          It hasn't gone well for them at national events in the past.

            Coaches don't window shop at showcases. They go with a shopping list to see players who have expressed an interest or have had a club coach give a positive recommendation for. If you contact coaches and they don't show up, or if nothing happens past them just showing up? You better re-evaluate who you're contacting and your recruiting plan.

              Why is this even relevant to the conversation?

              Do you really have to reach that far to find some feces to throw here?

                  Coach list isn't great for lower tier NE club like Oakwood. Programs like Duke and Michigan aren't looking at these kids.

                  Most kids are going to end up at schools within a few hours from CT. Not a ton of them are represented out in CO.

                  People get caught up in 150 schools attending but how many are schools that your kid would be interested in or an appropriate level?

                  Have a look at the PDA list. It's the ultimate showcase for kid in the Northeast. Back when TS had a few strong teams as Oakwood he was able to get those NPL teams into PDA. I'd take that all day long over flying to CO.

                      About the same as CFC’s day is going to go tomorrow against PDA’s top teams

                        Unfortunately for Oakeood they have not played one decent team in Colorado. Please look st who you guys are playing before you compare those teams to the top club in the country.

                          Lost all but one, and the one win was due to the other team scoring two own goals.

                            Speaking of Colorado. Looks like Real Colorado next major club to leave GDA and go back to ECNL. Not sure any more nails are needed in the coffin but US Soccer is clearly in denial.

                              Like the hydra, there are several smaller, more inept heads that can pay and are ready to take their place.
