That sounds like a pretty good turn out. Hopefully it's similar this year.I can tell you last year in the North American Cup we had the following coaches for U16; Day 1 - 33, Day 2 - 22, Day 3 - 16, and Day 4 Final - 11
Prior year in the Champions league we had the following coaches for U15: Day 1 - 73, Day 2 - 88, Day 3 - 33

Both years overall were very good but i would say at the two different championships the activity was higher the U15 year. That being said, that was our biggest event by far for the U15 year and then most of our other events for the U16 year were very well attended. In seemed interest during the beginning of the U15 year felt like the coach's were just getting a feel for this age group. The interest picked up in the spring of the U15 year with recruiting and general activity being very high from ECNL spring showcase U15 year until PDA of the U16 year.I think the North American numbers are still respectable. It didn't look like that many, but I do know that there can be more than we think since coaches don't always stay all game or even sit. How was the recruitment efforts or coaches interest between the two years?
Same thing happened at Surf Cup in the last couple of years...definitely cuts into the exposure when players aren't on the pitch.Such a bummer, and a lot of money for possibly two games! My DD called this morning bright and early to let us know about the games being cancelled. Being from the southwest, she isn't used to that kind of weather or how fast it can hit Thank God they had a very good turn out at yesterday's game with CC's. Unfortunate.
With no ECNL games on Sunday it will be interesting to see how many coaches stay through the off day to see Monday and Tuesday's games versus catching a Saturday evening flight to San Diego for the DA event. I think it was a mistake for ECNL to leave an open date here instead of staggering games and playing on Sunday.
Good luck. You have a great team.The coaches already have divided and conquered previously and will continue to do so. We have already discussed this topic in nauseum . They have a built in inclement weather day on Sunday.
Good luck. You have a great team.
