... people come on this site looking for guidance to navigate their childs lacrosse path. I, myself, am confused as to what is necessary & what is not. It does seem as if these camps & clinics are playing on parents insecurities & parents are "buying" in to it. I appreciate BOTC's honest view on this. I do not discredit your decision to (or not to) send your son but, I am in a postion where I do have to "pick & choose". Thanks again BOTC for your honesty.
Thank you for your thoughts. Having placed student-athletes into NCAA Division I athletic programs, our view is that an eighth-grade recruiting camp just does not pass the "if it were my money" test.
Glad to hear that- as a parent of more than one kid- all with high aspirations... money has to be spent where it will go the farthest and means the most. I have found this sight to be quiet helpful so far in giving us some direction in areas we were unsure about.
As for tutoring- a tutor can charge 100-130 an hour in the HS academic areas- so reaching 2000 might not be such a challenge if you have a kid that needs tutoring in more than one subject for the year- then add an SAT course... it adds up.
