2nd Annual - SRU Girls’ College ID Weekend A HUGE SUCCESS!
This past weekend Trione Fields was visited by more than 30 college coaches from across the West Coast. These college coaches spent all day Saturday running training sessions and evaluating the 100 players at our camp. The camp was sold out weeks before it started and this had the college coaches excited. The college coaches were very impressed with the talent level at the camp and were thrilled at the recruiting opportunities.
On Sunday, the college coaches spent 8 hours evaluating players as they watched the 12 showcase games for the U16, U17 and U18 teams from Placer United, Marin FC, Davis Legacy and SRU play. These games were very high level and the college coaches were enthusiastic about the talent level that the clubs Premier players/teams displayed. Having 30 coaches watch our Santa Rosa United players is a great success. It is a big help to our players during their recruiting and college search process. Accomplishing all of this with no travelling and in our own backyard was even better!
