Here's food for thought why would a director who truly cared about her players and their parents allow freshman fourth team players to participate in a showcase tourny and sell it like they will get looks??? Let's get real folks if your not on BLUE your not getting looked at so don't waste your time or money! My daughter thankfully got smart and realized that she could get more out of camps and clinics at colleges then spending an entire weekend waiting for coaches to come watch her play for the 5 minutes that they are there. Does the kid touch the ball, does she make a mistake all the stress put on these younger kids. Save your $$ send them to camp. Let them interact with the college coach and see if they actually like the environment or atmosphere. There are many college camps where several coaches attend try those and stop putting money in CR pocket trust me she's not helping you your only helping her!!!!
You should thank her for giving your kid a place to play , if she is on the 4th team there is a descent chance she does not make another travel club. Will she get recruited as easily as a top team kid no but again at least she is given the opportunity to go to these tournaments and participate on a team , make friends , access to stick skills etc.
