So Live Love Lax canceling games because “they don’t want to mess up the fields”. I think this is terrible planning. Families spend tremendous money and time to attend these important recruiting events. So many girls have missed opportunities. A shame!
stinks that games were cancelled when they didn't have to be. However, the role of summer tourneys for 24s is vastly overrated.
If you played for YJ, TG or another top club and aren't on D1 coaches radar already, news flash-- you won't. Coaches are just going to see girls who they are already tracking. It is very rare for a kid to get on a coach's radar at this point.
For example at LLL last weekend, our (YJ Weiner) most attended game by coaches was our 2nd one --a blowout win over an Ohio team. Apparently, lots of those coaches were there to see the Ohio goalie. (who i admit was outstanding).
The other coaches were there to see girls on our team who they had already seen multiple times.

Partially agree.
For top girls who are under armor or UA150 and already on top schools radar, summer club play is of minimal importance. But for backups or girls who aren’t clear stars, these games are important.
Remember the recruiting lists for non top 20 teams are much more fluid than the big schools.
