After making my way through your boring sarcasm I see a plan that makes perfect sense. Outside of NY because of the the late school cutoff if I had a promising athlete why wouldn't I want him to compete at the highest level? These showcases you're referring to will and do have kids 18 to 24 months older. I'm not gonna just sit back and watch his dreams go by the wayside and think a 14 yr old can compete with a 17 yr old? And I certainly won't care what my neighbors do or anyone else for that matter. You simple minded peeps can keep your head in the sand and continue to whine while I PREPARE my young son to reach his dreams. And btw, hope you're enjoying the tournament. You might want to check out some birthdates of the kids playing. Actually, don't bother. Just keep whining on this forum. It's entertaining!!
