Yesterday on Facebook I saw a post from one of the local travel clubs I follow congratulating one of their players for accepting an offer to play at a DIII school.
The funny thing is, the girl they were congratulating played for a different organization from 10U all the way through 2nd year 16U, only changing to her new 18U club at the end of the 2020 season (such as it was). It's possible due to Covid that she has never played a game for her new club.
It's not really an issue at all, just a little amusing. What else could they do? Not recognize her? It does come off as a bit of resume padding for the club and I wonder how common this type of thing is.
