Out of curiosity, what is the level of girls that attend these events? DA/ECNL? SCDSL/Coast flight 1? That is a nice lineup of good academic schools.

Rainbow_Unicorn - This event continues to grow for us. We do this to give our players the opportunity to be seen by college coaches in an intimate setting. For many of our younger players this is the 1st exposure they have to college coaches and this can be daunting experience .

2018 - Northwestern, UCLA, Wash U, Johns Hopkins and Pomona Pitzer - 35 players
2017 - UCLA, University of Colorado, Dartmouth, Swarthmore, & Bowdoin College - 22 player

Its nice to see the changes in the players attitude as the weekend progresses. We also have 3-4 local college coaches that will come out and help with the weekend as well for those kids that want to stay in State. Last year we had 35 players and the make of the players was CSL Premier, Flight 1 kids and we also had several DA kids from RSC and Beach. This year a few DA kids from the Bay area have signed up as well. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Not just good academically...top shelf DIII soccer powerhouses as well! U of Chicago, CM, and Williams are 3 of the best, plus Andy Bernard's alma mater and the strongest academic Big10 program! Strong turnout...

Why does it cost so much? And what about kids who cannot afford it?

Hey Mark....this event is not a money maker for us. We cover all the coaches costs for travel, hotel stay and per diem for food. It also takes place on the on west side of Los Angeles and the field space is expensive. We have several players that cant afford the event and we find a way to get them in!
