this crosses over to travel lacrosse and showcases. I know for a fact that certain kids have been selected to the all star games at showcases because college coaches go to the directors and tell them they want to see specific kids in the all star game. Last week we had it happen to our team where 3 kids were selected and maybe 1 deserved to be there and the rest didn't play well in the first 2 games before the all star game.

Its tough when you have no control and have to play nice or you become an outcast and a problem to teams who are working closely with college coaches
