Is there any better excuse for a coach to get a free trip to Hawaii?6/18-6/24 - Far West - Honolulu

Hi Joe can you point me a rule that states it will be this way?Most D1 colleges will send staff to all of them. But if you are asking for a list it will be DA > ECNL > Far West

Eastern head coaches to San Diego, Western head coaches to Hawaii and the assistants everywhere would be my guess.Hi Joe can you point me a rule that states it will be this way?
If you have to question this, its either one of two things.Hi Joe can you point me a rule that states it will be this way?
You forgot an option:If you have to question this, its either one of two things.
1 - Your kid is too young and simply have not experienced and witnessed where they will be, or
2 - your kid didn't play DA/ECNL (nothing wrong with that - many kids do not and still get recruited)
In either case, its really not up for debate. It just is.
June~July are the two months where the full time coaching staff is spending almost all their time at either ID camps or at DA/ECNL/FWR+NCFinals. Its also the time for the coaches to go see their players of interest play in any given tournament games as a part of the decision making.
By the time August comes around, they are fully focused (with exception of assistant HC, who usually leads the scouting for the university) on the upcoming season. Preseason games starts in early to mid August and the regular season by the end of August.
Right, persoanl banter between you guys....You forgot an option:
3. I am making fun of JoeBieber always questioning everyone’s opinion by asking for legal proof.
Spot on. They have very limited travel budget.How much does a college spend for soccer coaches to go on recruiting trips?
In all seriousness- women’s (and men’s) soccer isn’t a revenue generating sport for most colleges.
Why spend any money at all? Watch some videos. Hold a camp. Talk to coaches. Visit a game that is local to you. Make some offers.
Wouldn’t that throw the “elite” leagues into a tizzy?

If this is the case, I would presume that after their evaluations at these events, offers come shortly thereafter for those they are looking at recruiting? Is that a fair assumption?If you have to question this, its either one of two things.

No. Recruiting is like dating that ultimately end in marriage. It can take a long time (~18 months) in some cases.If this is the case, I would presume that after their evaluations at these events, offers come shortly thereafter for those they are looking at recruiting? Is that a fair assumption?
Maybe the US should adopt the model used in Europe where sports are not a major part of the colleges and they do not give out sports scholarships. That would really change the sports culture in the US. The only real revenue generating sports in college are football and basketball and at a lot of colleges those sports lose money. As for soccer, the US gives out millions of dollars in college soccer scholarships and Europe give out almost nothing. Seems to be working fine in Europe since most European nations are in the World Cup this year and the US team will be sitting at home watching.
We have title IX and in woman's soccer where there are almost twice as many scholarships over men's soccer we are #1 in the world. The comparisons are not apples to apples.
Smart money goes to Hawaii. Yes let the UCLA and Stanfords of the world fight off a few "elite" players. And here is a free bonus advice for college coaches, the scorching heat in Hawaii is no joke and there is quite some talent available there, so if players can perform in that climate, they would be a steal. Not to mention a week work/vacation in Hawaii, can't beat that.Last year there was two competing events. ECNL in Chicago and FWR in Seattle. This year there are three competing events for girls. FWR in Hawaii June 19-25. ECNL in Seattle June 21-26. DA in Oceanside June 23-30. My guess is that most coaches will skip Hawaii. Too many events going on and that's a tough trip to sell to anyone's boss. The majority of the coaches that have the budget will spend the first few days in Seattle and then head to Oceanside. Other programs will divide coaches between both events. I would also venture a guess that the majority of the Southwest colleges will attend the DA event.
