For whatever it is worth, these numbered invite combines or whatever are a bit misleading. For example, all those years Under Armour was running the Under Armour 150, the truth of the matter was that none of the girls (considered the top girls) who made the Under Armour underclass teams went to the 150. It was always the next rung of players that went to 150. But there is so much stuff out there nowadays, it really does seem like shameless money grabs everywhere you look. And the lists and social media hype from all these events, leagues, clubs, list generating websites, trainers, videographers, photographers, etc…. All feasting. It is so out of control the last few years, it is painful to watch what this is becoming. Feel like my youngest was just old enough to avoid all this craziness, glad we are out. Good luck to all of you who still need to navigate through this as all this stuff continues to spiral out of control.

UAAA is run by Corrigan Sports and UA150 by Robinson Sports. They are unrelated to each other, but there have been some players who did UA150 who were (or very likely will be) UA Senior AA. There do seem to be so many of these events now and not worth the money or time to do them all, and maybe the overall talent for some gets watered down because there are more options.

Corrigan Sports and Robinson Sports? Is One of them a top MD club owners company? Soon not to be a club owner (selling it?) The true money is running events and to get girls to pay $500. Let’s just hope some of these events are worth the price, and not just about making $s! Let’s try to keep these people who run these events honest and delivering what they say for the athletes. Lax for the Cure does a GREAT job at their tournament/event! ( It’s also for charity- so, even better:) )

Parents of kids who have attended the different events, are a good source to get info from if worth doing? Everyone will have difference of opinions on them, based on what they were looking for from the event. The input/experience is great to hear for other parents. A big reason I think many come to BOTC for? For some info./advice/experience from people who have been through this stuff. Thank you to those who share this stuff. It’s tough navigating all this and it seems to be getting worse. So many things, hard to know what is worth the time and money.
