Dyed anyone get invite for prep showcase? Is it true only open for private school kids? if so, what do you think of that?
I posted the info on the Prep School Showcase. My son is a public school kid, and did get an invitation. We have friends who do go to NE West schools who went in the past and that is where their looks and eventual commitments began.
I have no idea if they have a quota system or how they parse out the invitations between kids going to NE West and other prep leagues versus uncommitted players from public schools. That same group is fielding a club team this summer, and most of the coaches are from schools like Trinity Pawling, Deerfield, Salisbury, Brunswick etc., so I would imagine that it is a very prep school heavy invite list.
The email they send out today states....
