DD (first year 14U) was asked to pick up in a local showcase this weekend. Unfortunately, the games scheduled for Friday were rained out. This caused some problems re: today's games b/c at least one field at one of the parks was unplayable today.
TD shuffled everything and we wound up being at an entirely different park than we were scheduled to be at today. Some teams moved around to multiple fields today.
So, there were NO (and I mean none) college coaches who were identifiable anywhere around the park we were at today. This was not such a crowded park that they could have just blended in; it was clearly just the usual parent audience watching the games. I don't know if any showed up at any of the other fields or not.
We are in GA and there were teams from as far as NYC there. I can't imagine how I would feel after the time and expense of such a far trip to be showcasing for no one.
What am I missing? Do you think coaches didn't show up b/c the Friday games were rained out? This is new to us, so I'm just wondering if this was a poorly run showcase or whether the weather (that's funny) could have affected college coaches' attendance.
Those with older DD's, give me the ins and outs so I'll know better for next time.
ETA: Friday games were not rescheduled. But those were just pool games and did not count in terms of placement for bracket games.
