Yes on all accounts...and you Madam are misquoting the facts. 500 college coaches for girls only? Or is that the amount of coaches combined for both Boys and Girls? Good nite EOE (expert on everything).

LMAO...okay 300 plus college coaches vs 100 at Legends Silverlakes. Still a no brainer, if my DD was an uncommitted U15-U16 player. I would want my DD's team at Surf College Cup, if the team wasn't ECNL.
Games guaranteed rain or shine. No brainer for families and for coaches.

What does Hillary have to do with this? Limited recruiting budget means they can't waste their time/money going places without the talent that they are looking for. The top teams make their decisions at the beginning of the season. My player always got her complete schedule for the year in August.

You're such a genius....that's why Legends Silverlakes packed the house with 100 or so college coaches vs Surf having at the very leasr double and closer to triple that amount.
You can't possibly think people will forget this rain out or do you????
I think you lose this time and as much as you love to argue, there is no more argument.

So were the college coaches able to do their job with you yappin at them during the game or were you holding the umbrella keeping them dry today. My bad, CaliKlines was holding the umbrella.

Let me think, 100 vs 300 college coaches. Oh yeah it hardly rains in SoCal and Legends Silverlakes will be unable to draw the coaches with Girls DA teams prohibited from playing college showcases next year.

Good nit
Why do you care...all the top Slammer teams were at Silverlakes. I'm surprised we didn't see you outside the fence yelling at people who were attending. Stop being a jerk Rob and go away.

I care, because you are posting propaganda BS and ulittle parents read this forum. So what, if the Slammers top teams participated this YEAR. That isn't going to be the case next year with Girls DA prohibited from attending. So as an unbaised poster....posters with ulittle DDs are better off at a tried and proven college Thanksgiving Showcase which is Surf College Cup.

FWIW: Our team Boys 2000 U17 played at the November Nights at Poinsettia baseball grass fields Friday and Saturday and La Costa HS grass fields (horrible) on Sunday,and in 3 days I didn't see one single coach.. Even though our boys won all 3 games and their bracket. Perhaps because they played in the grass fields ? IDK but it feels just like a big scam and rip off , And they didn't even gave out pins for the players.
outside!

Bummer. I have always felt bad for the teams that play on the baseball field as it is away from the action and kind of hard to find. I have worked that field before and have seen college coaches there however. I am curious, do you have any idea how many emails the players sent out to college coaches?

Here is what one of the parents send me this morning:
Despite the fact that Surf had over 500 college coaches' names listed (multiple names for a single school), there were only 76 D1 colleges (women's) that signed up. That compares with 68 D1 colleges at Silverlakes. So Surf had only 8 more D1 college women's programs than Silverlakes. For a first-year showcase and fairly late notice, that's not too shabby at all. And if you look at schools that only went to Silverlakes vs the ones that only went to Surf, I'd prefer Silverlakes with schools such as Stanford, Northwestern, West Virginia, Berkeley, and Colorado that only signed up for Silverlakes. And we got to play all 3 days and 4 games, all games were high quality competition. Really glad we did this showcase instead.
As long as you(the parent) are happy with how your money is being spent...does it really matter which showcase you attend. It's nice to have choices and competition between all 3 showcases just makes it better for Teams in the long run.
