Letter from parent of Stars 18U Player:
College Showcase Vs Local Tournaments
I can still remember the fall of 2007 when my daughter first played for the Stars and they played three College Showcases.

I was new with the organization and I remember approaching Coach Glen and telling him how impressed I was with his organization (the Maryland Stars) and the caliber of teams he was playing. I remember him telling me how he always wanted to play the best teams.

If your daughter has a dream to play in college it is so important to get all the exposure and the experience that she can. These tournaments also provide individual camps in which a lot of college coaches attend. Don’t get me wrong -- local tournaments are nice. They are local and convenient.

However, the exposure and the experience pale in comparison to the true college showcases. I can remember last year at the Carolina Cardinal Showcase. A coach approached me he didn’t know me and I didn’t know him. We began talking and I remember him saying what a class organization the Stars are.

If this is your 1st year for showcases your child will experience the highest caliber of competition and raise her play to the next level.

Coach Glen and Coach Gary have compiled an excellent schedule to showcase your daughter’s talent to many prospective colleges.

To close my daughter was seen at those fall tournaments and she is now living her dream and she gained great experience playing such a top schedule this past summer.
