How many different College showcases on the same weekend can college coaches handle? I know that some colleges have 2, sometimes 3 coaches to try to cover a lot of ground, but there are some that do not have additional coaches.
This is not a knock on any organization or tournament. The more opportunities for the girls to strut their skills the better. But, if we over saturate a weekend, then I think we (tournaments and Ohio Softball) are just "spinning our wheels".
Take the weekend of Jun 12-14. There are 4 College Showcases (Midwest College Showcase, Willoughby College Showcase, Madness College Showcase, and Capital City Showdown) and the 16U ASA State and 18U ASA State tournaments. That is 6 tournaments trying to draw the coaches. I know that the coaches are going to try to see the girls that have communicated with them, but we are not making it easy for them.
16U ASA States-Findlay
18U ASA States-Ashland?
Midwest College Showcase-Maumee
Willoughby College Showcase-Willoughby
Capital City Showdown-Columbus
Madness College Showcase-North Ridgeville
Willoughby and North Ridgeville are the only 2 somewhat close to each other.
The next weekend is not as bad. 18U ASA Regional-Massillon, 16U ASA National Qualifier-Ashland, Compuware-MI, 16U Sluggerfest-Cincinnati
Any ideas or just s u c k it up?
