Hats off to CESA for the College Showcase Day that they sponsor. I wish more clubs would do this. I heard the pullover alone was worth more than $35.
Even if ONLY South Carolina college coaches attend, it's more than what other clubs are doing. Seriously, what percentage (and how many) of our Palmetto State girls go on to play college out of state? Unless you are a really, really good player, and you are getting a boat-load of scholarship money, it doesn't make economic sense. There are great opportunities for our girls in-state.
As for being seen against great competition outside the state of South Carolina, ALL of CESA's premier teams play in the Region 3 Premier League. MOST, if not all, of CESA's premier teams go to the Disney Showcase at the end of December.
If a player is interested in a specific school, I'm sure the coaches and directors at CESA will do everything in their power to reach out to that college coach on behalf of the player. I'm sure the CESA coaching staff will encourage that player to attend that college's summer camp.
What more do they need to do? I was at the Raleigh Shootout last year, there were a lot of women's college coaches. It was an opportunity......but I'm not sure it was the BEST opportunity to be "seen".
