School specific camps/clinics have their purpose but are also stacked w/ players who know each other so easy to be a rockstar. UA150 has significantly less chance of playing w/ girls you know. UA AA is largely politics outside of LI too & you pay to try out which is the money grab. The evaluators are all from same clique of certain clubs and IMO teams are predetermind. Two hour tryouts aren't nearly enough to determine most deserving and my daughter made team but I can't deny she benefited from her association. Good luck to all


Lol. Don't need to feel better about anything. My daughter is a 2021 and happily committed. She attended UA150 the summer after 8th grade. It was a joke in terms of the coaches that actually showed up. The was selected the next summer but we decided it wasn't worth the $575 and figured that money would be better spent on other camps. She has also been on the last 2 Baltimore UA AA teams. You can't even compare UA150 and UA AA. One is a total money grab filled with mostly second tier girls. Look at the rosters and all star teams. The other, while political like every other "all star" team, is the best event of the summer for recruiting and is free other than the tryout fee.

If you think it's wise to spend the $575 on UA150 go ahead. It's not my money. I think most 2021 parents would agree that UA 150 is no longer relevant. If I'm not mistaken Nike 120 doesn't even exist anymore. There's a reason for that. Coaches don't attend anymore because it's in the summer now. When those events were in the winter coaches would come because it was during their downtime.
