Daughter played for Ronn last year, and I believe there were 4 younger players returning to the team and just was wondering where they were playing this year.

Barragan

Maples

Luska

Kapler

Barragan is still on the team Lusca plays for express Maples already mentioned. the other girl left last year some time really not sure who she is.

[JohnnyT60]

Still looking for a pitcher and 2nd basemen. Great group, solid hitters, good catching crew. Come out and take a look for yourself.

The Independance Day Tournament is probably the second most attended, ( by college recruiters), tournament in the nation.  (ASA Gold being #1)  It is extremely hard to get into, ( almost impossible ).  If you are able to play with this Storm Team and are interested in being recruited.... you would be a fool to turn down the opportunity.

I think there were 180 teams there last year.

Check your facts here, take the 1 off of your 180

[JohnnyT60]

Between the Big 3 going on in the greater Denver area, there is probably close to 180 teams, and talking to coaches last year, they did bounce back in forth on all three. Probably as big of a gathering of big time schools as Gold Nationals. These tournaments are the first time coaches can talk to these kids off campus this year. It was a really neat scene watching the coaches wait there turn to talk to the players.

[RangerDad]

It's a great feeling the first time the coaches ask to talk to your daughter, even better when they have to wait in line. As a parent you start to think this might really happen.

[HR4MEK4U]

During the 2007 tournament, 342 coaches representing 217 colleges signed-in at our college coach registration table.  Listed below are the colleges and universities represented.  Most are NCAA Division I schools, but Div II, Div III, NAIA, and JC were also in attendance. 

These are the facts. Big Daddy is correct they do not let any one in this tournament. Every 18u coach that knows softball wishes he was in THIS tournament. With recruiting changes you can easily expect even more coaches there this year.

look at it this way also.

Sparkler ..... nice to look at , low entertainment short lived, too much movement by teams! anyone can get in!

Fireworks..... bigger in entertainment, limited number of teams, coaches do attend, but they are fireworks, they do pop and the show is over.

Independence......2 fields ONLY, invitation only (exception of 4) , only competitive teams allowed, their discretion! Most sought after by knowledgable 18u coaches. INDEPENDANCE , not a single pop(sparkler), not just a few pops with occasional ooohs and aaaaahs(fireworks) all day everyday, Independance Day.

Thanks for the Link....I did check my facts !   In fact I was at the tournament last year.

144 teams  342 College Coaches Registered ( Most Veterans can tell you alot of Coaches don't Register)

30 to 40 recruiters at most Games. Like I said..." You would be a fool to pass up this opportunity".

(edit)  Plus Texas Storm Gold and (Dixon) are a class act! 

          I wish my kid was old enough.....I would jump all over this chance.

[Guest 11/13Dad]

The tournament that this Texas Storm team is going to in Boulder is 80 teams.  This will be my third year going so no history lesson is needed. 

Your comment was that 180 teams you thought were there last year.  The website says different.  Who gives a rat's ass about Aurora, Broomfield, BFE or how many teams in the greater Denver area. Your comment which I agree with is that this Texas Storm team is in the best of the best in the Boulder Indy tournament.

One other statement one of you made which I agree with, it's a lot easier to be removed from the tournament than to be included in the tournament.

[HR4MEK4U]

13 -    Not sure of the angle or question you might have? I posted the quote from the website how many college teams Dan mentions(words) not teams listed.

It is easier to be removed than to get in. Coaches want the best and to see the best! Storm (Dixon) as a reminder has been there since inception and that carries clout. Some neigh sayers who have left and have begged to take them back.

[Guest 11/13Dad]

No angle or question, just a statement of facts that the number of teams in the Boulder Independence Day tournament is 80.  I showed a link to check facts of a statement. Make the readers of this post a little more knowledgeable

I think there were 180 teams there last year.

 

Next time I can pm if overly sensitive.

[HR4MEK4U]

Nope not sensitive here. Clearly more than 80 teams!!! At times you could count as many as 30 - 40 different schools at one field. Dan did not list each school. listed ,yes, around 80.

Not to give you a history lesson, thisquote is just above the listed teams

" During the 2007 tournament, 342 coaches representing 217 colleges signed-in at our college coach registration table.  Listed below are the colleges and universities represented.  Most are NCAA Division I schools, but Div II, Div III, NAIA, and JC were also in attendance". 

[Guest 11/13Dad]

This is getting stale.  From the website also

In 2008, there will be 3 separate tournaments: Independence Day 18's - Boulder (80 teams), Independence Day 18's - Louisville (32 teams), and Independence Day 16's - Longmont (32 teams).

[HR4MEK4U]

13 - you are talking teams playing in the tournament. We knew that! We are talking schools(teams)colleges that are there recruiting.

[Guest 11/13Dad]

My statement was to BigDaddy and you thought I was talking about college.  There are no college teams there, college coaches yes.  BigDaddy was talking about teams, so was I
