Top Showcases for Girls

oldboy thank you so much for your input. Schools in the Southeast is definitely the goal (including TX).

Tourneys and showcases like Disney, WAGS and Jefferson Cup have been "checkbox" options on the questionnaires we have come across when asked what tourneys and showcases you have participated in.

In reference to College Bound summer camps, I find the UNC Chapel Hill camp a great one ... even if it is just to see how your daughter sizes up against other girls on different levels from around the world (there were some girls from Hong Kong, Zimbawe, Canada and other countries). I love their thorough grading system.

Most of the colleges now due to the new NCAA rules have one day camps in the winter and spring. Other than the power 5 conferences which typically seem to run them as a for profit endeavor most of the other ones are there to find players. It gives the player a chance to interact with the coach and meet the current players. Most of them allow players once they get to be rising ninth graders eventhough now with the new rules they cant offer until junior year. The one thing with having them go once they can is most players that I have seen lose some of their nerves once they realize it is just another camp. I know my daughter did. Once you go to one or two you will get a feel of the level of player at those particular size and divison. Many of the coaches at any level will not have much to do with you until you go to their camp and show intrest in their school.

Thanks for sharing! My kid is also in the 8th grade and the reason I asked is because we want to start the process early as well, with her already knowing that is what her goal is. We have received similar "report" cards in the past, but with different equivalencies for the numbers. I like this one because comes at you from the point of college point of view (i.e. College bound, College level).   

UNC camps always have the biggest numbers... they're the big dog in women's soccer.

soccerlegacy No prob. Many blessings on this journey with your player. I tell my daughter to grind during individual training and team practice, so she can have fun on the pitch and trying out what she's been practicing.

Regarding Clemson camp. That was my daughter’s first ID camp and so I think she learned a lot about the process. She liked it. It was like 3-4 days (I think) and there was a lot more free time than what she was expecting. Her roommate at the camp, who she didn’t know before, actually got a LOT of recruiting attention. My daughter said the coaches knew her before the camp so she was already on their radar. They follow each other on social media and I believe she said the girl just recently committed to another ACC school.
