I would be interesting if we could get info on attrition from ECRL2 clubs

Because you said “No Argument Here” it just be true. Fact that you claim to have a college kid, have terrible grammar and still chat on TS says all we need to know about your thought process

I have another child in youth program, yes my oldest coaches college. There is a reason why so many do not show up to those showcases. They are listed but DO NOT attend. I have many of friends that play for Oakwood, CSA Bergen and LI teams. They all have something in common, they all say they had barely any college coaches attend. The most seen at their games were at PDA memorial day

What ages? Teams playing lower have less colleges that attend games. Ds team had almost 50 over 2 days as for the 3rd it rained hard and no scouts were out in NC and about the same in CA playing in the upper 3rd of the showcase level this year. NC had a good mix of scouts from all levels of schools including some from ACC, Big 10, and SEC schools. CA had a lot more west coast schools, mostly D2/3s but a couple from repeat mid-majors from NC. I know teams from STA, Ukies, and FCV that have had 50+ per game at showcases/champions cup/playoffs playing at the top.

I doubt they had no one...I'm sure they didn't have a lot as the 08s were in bracket 9 of 14 in CA and 7 of 14 in NC while the 09s were in 13 of the 13 brackets in NC and 13 of 14 in CA while being in u15 which even at the upper ends doesn't get a lot of looks. Ds team had been a playoff team when she was u15 and only had a handful of scouts at NC, Champions Cup and playoffs.

On a side note, if you were that bad (talking about the 09s here) why would you spend $4k plus to go to CA when you knew there wasn't much prospects for scouts? I know playoff and upper end showcase teams that didn't go this past year because it wasn't worth the cost.
