What’s your thoughts about being invited to an OnDeck Jamboree? My daughter just went through their testing and received an invite. Is it worth going to or just a money grab?

What where her metrics at the tryout? How old is she? Probably worth going to establish her Alister Index. Exit velo's in the low to mid 70's Overhand throw of 65+ mph, home to first of 2.70 could get attention. There may be college coaches there. 2 of those three may get you noticed. No Bandits or Chill players there any longer. Derreck Alister can be helpful. OnDeck just formed a relationship with Softball America in ranking players so if she is good it may open doors. I think it runs at the same time as the Connect Camps which are in Orland Park. The Connect Camps are Power 4 Schools and that is run in conjunction with the Easton Rawlings. PGF has a measurements arm that does measurements there.

One of the biggest bangs for the buck. Numerious kids can thank the Allister's for offers which happened via Jamboree which enabled them to get the eyes on them.
I know Billy started his own thing because they started working with the alliance, even though Bandits used to get auto invites.
