So the club is going to Phoenix over Veterans Day weekend. Stratospheric plane tickets (inflation or whatever) overpriced hotel rooms.
Making plans and arranging itinerary. But when I look at the "College Attending" list ( https://public.totalglobalsports.com/public/event/2703/college-list ) I am starting to question and wonder why our club should even go? Bragging rights? ECNL mandates for a club to attend a minimum of X number of showcases per year.?
Much like Surf Cup scheduling their weekend during San Diego ComicCon, did the Phoenix showcase organizers take into account the beginning of the NCAA playoffs? Did they think that "big name" schools would be able to spare scouts/coaches for the weekend?
Nothing against the Academy of Art University or Berry College but come on!
I'm really hoping as the showcase approaches and NCAA brackets are decided the big schools find a way to send scouts to this event. Otherwise I'm going to recommend to our DOC that parent resources could be spent more advantageously next year.
