TESTIMONIAL FROM CLASS OF 2025 TOP 150 NATIONAL PLAYER INVITATIONAL

Thank you and congratulations on the Top 150 event this week! It was amazing exposure for this group to have so many coaches in one place just a few weeks before the recruiting process starts. I can’t imagine a better scouting event.
Parent of Class of 2025 Participant

Thank you for creating Max Field Hockey’s Top 150 National Player Invitational. It was an amazing recruiting event that showcased many of the top field hockey players from across the country.  Since I have seven children, I have been to my fair share of sporting/recruiting events. This event was, by far, the most organized, well run, & worthwhile recruiting event I have ever attended.

“Can’t get over how well-run and brilliant the event was. Thank YOU for organizing such a great day that was very helpful, indeed.”
Top 10 D1 Head Coach

The Top 150 National Player Invitational was incredible, one of the best events!  To have so many strong players together made for great field hockey to watch, and the live stream gave the opportunity to watch for those of us who couldn’t be there.  To have so many coaches together at one event leading up to June 15th was also helpful for players in the class of 2025.  Thank you so much for planning such an amazing event for the Top 150 of 2025.

Just wanted to share appreciation for how well I thought this event was run.  From the beginning, it was well organized, thoughtful, and made the girls feel really special.  It was also incredibly efficient for exposure due to the number and quality of schools.  The video access was incredibly well done.  Scheduling will always be tough with Nexus and other activities, so appreciate both ends of that accommodating flights and travel.  Just such a great event.
Parent of Class of 2025 Participant

My daughter had an amazing time and loved the high level of play.  She and I enjoyed this more than Nexus. It was very well run. I understand this is a difficult time of year to schedule and you made it happen. I was very pleased to see the coaching turnout for the Goalie Showcase as well as how long the coaches stayed at the end of the day!! Thank you so much for this great opportunity!! I will recommend this to others !!
