>>[kickinit70] Both, college visibility and player development and any other, and all, aspects a college services program should provide. I guess we just have an extreme difference in views of what a club should do for its olders players and college.<<
If there were infinite dollars and infinite time, then I think we'd have agreement. Given that parents are willing to spend non-infinite dollars and players are willing to give non-infinite time, then prioritization has to occur. The return on investment for the Las Vegas (and Houston) tournaments don't place them high on the prioritization list.
>>Also, the U20 women playing a CESA boys team has nothing to do with CESA except, by coincidence, its one of the closer real clubs around Clemson to get a match.<<
I'm sorry I wasn't clearer. My daughter's CESA teams have played CESA boys teams a bunch of times. If you wish for a girls team to get the best development possible, then a better answer is to play younger excellent boys teams more often rather than playing better girls teams less often when those girls teams are thousands of miles away.
