Great Lakes Labor Day Invitational - Indianapolis, IN

Granted I'm a few years removed from the showcase circuit, but in my experience, getting coaches to showcases on Labor Day Weekend was quite a feat. Hopefully it works out for you and you get a ton of coaches there, but I would think pushing it back a week or two would greatly benefit all involved.

I ass-u-me since they stated it's a "showcasing event" and they've listed colleges attending, the objective is to see and be seen.

C77, if you are having a "showcase", I would say it's paramount that you get coaches there. If you don't have coaches, the odds of it being an annual event decrease drastically. Hence the reason for my initial post. I have no idea what motivates people, I love to see kids get to live their dream. This seems like a tournament that doesn't have a five year waiting list, they'll allow non-name brand teams, they seem to have a few coaches coming, Yea for them, hopefully some kids get something done. And if the promoters make a little money, good for them. I don't think there's any conspiracy here.

I would hope you enjoyed softball when you played. I wouldn't think you would be on this forum if you hated it.
