funny but i think calling a tourney SHOWCASE is kinda like when all the teams started calling themselves Premier, GOLD, ELite etc......... this is just a way to say that their tourney is a very important one! SHOWCASE..... how many showcase events actually have a crowd of college coaches attend?
If no college coaches attend your SHOWCASE event... it aint no showcase! and as far as 10- 12u goes... from a players point of view I think these young ones have an opportunity to go over to some of the 14u 16u games and actually see college coaches watching games, holding their clipboards, wearing their college gear, talking to coaches and doing their recruiting thing... is pretty motivating for these young ladies and gives them motivation to work their buttts off knowing they will be on those fields soon!!
