Someone on 2018 must be in the know regarding the 3d venture with USA Today for the upcoming Great State Showdown-GSS.
All I heard in FL was: 24 players will be rostered for each regional team to play in the Championship game in PA at the end of July/beginning of August.
Does anyone know how players get invited to try-out for one of the 50 spots on the spring evaluation team for each region?
The website states it is INVITE only, $200 for tryouts, only selecting 50 players from all who are invited to come to the tryouts (a few players for each position). Those 50 players will be evaluated and then 24 players will be selected to represent each region.
Just wondering if:
1- if the players are selected on past performance associated with 3d events?? 2- if players are invited by coach recommendation?? 3- if your son is not a powerhouse player on a powerhouse team, do not even bother mentioning it to him???
if this is anything like the rest of the events that 3d runs, if you are not on 3d, chances are, even the top LI players will not get the option to tryout, 3d promotes their players first and will usually take a mediocre 3d player over a top non-3d player.
If that is the case, which teams from Westchester, NYC, LI have 3d affiliations?
That would mean that the players from those teams would be entered as NY Downstate region players. Why would they advertise if they have preselected players to fill the 50 spots.
The Empire State Team/LI Region had tryouts and selected players to make up the teams. It did not matter which club affiliation the players were with. The best players were selected and they played.
Any insight????
The best players played in Empire state? They were asking kids to play without seeing them. These are all fun events, but every one is a money grab. No value playing there except getting a cool helmet or shirt and feeling good about yourself.
