So many of you missing the point. If a club states they will help with the recruiting process then they should. End of story. To cash a check and not pick up a phone or send an email is disgraceful to be the girls. They have no problem posting committed athletes but the majority did the work themselves. Save your money, go to camps of the school your child is interested in and travel (if you must) on a local small club.
Think you are missing the point. If a kid is not good enough to be recognized and recruited, it's not the club directors fault. Please try to be realistic! I'm sure your daughter is good at other things that can help her get into college. I know it's a bitter pill to swallow after years of Paying for travel lax, but only a few are really cut out to play and enjoy the rigors of D1 athletics. Sounds like you need to let it go. The girls who will excell at the next level do not need club directors kissing [lacrosse] to get them recruited. Stop blaming others for your daughters shortcomings and be happy for the other accomplishments she has made in her life. Lacrosse is only important to the parents watching.
Past- There are many talented athletes that also play D2&3, which are also rigorous programs. Nobody is saying its a club directors "fault" and I have never heard of any club director kissing any college coach [lacrosse]. But maybe that's what worked for you. No need to get so nasty, life is to short. If a young lady asks the director of a club to contact a coach it should be a very very simple process, emails take 30 seconds and the family can be copied on it. Whether the coach responds is a whole other subject, let the college decide on the athletes ability. The point is initiating contact, and it's lousy that when asked to the request is dismissed. We all know an athlete can contact the coach directly, but to have a club director cash a check for years without ever sending 1 email on behalf of a kid is disgusting.
