Under Armour Team (1-3)?

Missing many players. Fill in's that could not compete.

Coaches kids.

Friend’s and family couldn’t do the job. Shocking. Long Island gets the #9 seed - embarrassing!

Money grab. Useless. You should be at the beach.

Waste of time. Top kids went on vacation or to the beach.

Didn't they have top defensive players?

Not really . All around week team.

lol I see what you did there!

was really sad! not a good showing .

Heard Igloo lost a lot of A players again this year.

They haven't been an A team for a few years now anyway.

Funny thing is if you took all the ex igloo players they would be the best in the age group.

Not even close

Igloo coaches could have the best players but can’t coach.

Best way to make highlight film for rising 10th grader. Make on my own or hire someone. any ideas would be helpful. first time making a highlight tape

For my older ones we hired someone for some of the tournaments . Just about the entire team chipped in so it was fairly cheap. Most showcases/ tournaments have film available to buy. It on the expensive side. They have a team option to buy at most tournaments Which runs about $600.00. - 800.00 per tournament. If your team is willing to chip this is a good option

What travel travel program does your son play for? They should be able to Direct you.

It's really hard to make a quality highlight film using a personal camcorder if you are at ground level. The video companies use an apparatus that takes video from 12+ feet above the ground. Gives much better depth of field perspective and avoids any potential visual obstructions. There is usually a video company that contracts with the tournament (or showcase) to provide the video footage for every game.

It’s funny. This summer a bunch on the team bought into the video package offered and 2 of them were like a 5 year old was holding the camera. Cheapest way is to buy as a group. If you do film on you own try and get a vantage point and shake it. I’ve gotten plenty on my iPhone. Just do it the right way. As far as the tape itself yes there are companies that do it. I’m actually screwing around with iMovie on the Mac seeing if I can do that myself. A bit of a pain in the rear. We’ll see if I just give up and pay. I’m stubborn.

No college coach is looking at a 2024 kid. Your son will look much better next year and the year after on film. Hopefully by then everything will be in person for recruiting.

Igloo has the best players lmao. What are u smoking?

They DID have the best players. Igloo alumni team would beat everyone

With different coaches

Why did they leave?

COACHING

My son is on a top tier 2024 team. Not one word from the coaches or organization on recruiting. Not one. What should we expect? You would think for 4k a year there would be some direction. There is none. At the very least, what should be happening

Nothing, build your sons film for next spring/summer. And then there is two types of showcases, ones that everybody gets in, and be selective on those and the ones that require the club to get you an invite. Keep in mind the club can’t send all 20 kids to those elite showcases, so it can get awkward.

This fall they should do tournaments where there are college coaches. Typically your high school does more than your club, but ask them questions. Remember don't be an butt, they are the ones you want to make calls for your son.

Thanks. Unchartered waters for many - would have assumed a little bit of help

They should at least be addressing the topic and setting expectations. But very few do this. 2024's should have a blueprint at this stage. No college coaches looking yet but you should know key upcoming dates and events, and what it takes to participate.

Any teams upgrade after tryouts this year?

What club does he play for?

True blue has two teams at 2024? I see in rankings true blue and true blue goat? I thought they only had one team

Guess.

Having been through this before...do NOT rely on the club for much. The top player (or two) at each position will get all the looks to the big showcases (maverik, nike, juniors, 5 star). Everyone else and everything else you need to do on your own. Do your research, make a plan. Research prospect days, make a video, etc

The only thing funny about that is the comment. Rediculous statement. Stick to baseball.

You obviously don’t have a son on a top team or you would know there are 3-4 players on pack taz and express that were on igloo at one point.
