IL College Prospect Series
By: TGE Staff
Over Labor Day Weekend we debuted a new event style called the TGE College Prospect Series. The premise of the College Prospect Series is that college coaches coach the teams, while the club coaches sit back and relax for the weekend.
In this new event style, there are three exhibition games that do not count towards bracket seeding. The brackets are pre-determined but are played out to completion to ensure a champion of the event. This allows the event to still have a competitive nature, while maintaining a showcase style event.
The IL College Prospect Series was the first installment of the format and was widely liked among teams and college coaches. Fontbonne University coach said, “I really enjoyed being able to pass on my knowledge to the girls as well as get the opportunity to work with other coaches,” while St. Mary of the Woods coach said, “Great experience for me and the recruiting process. Live game interaction was a great success!”
The Southeast Iowa All-Stars showed up ready to compete in bracket play on Sunday. The Allstars were division champions in each division, 14u, 16u and 18u.
We look forward to the next installment of the College Prospect Series taking place in Kansas City September 16 and 17, 2023.
