Re: Girls 2019 - 10th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017 B_O_T_C #182111 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A has anyone noticed rising sophomores dropping out of their fall sport? maybe too small a sample but I have heard three lacrosse players (one committed and two not) not coming out for their fall sport. in one case the girl said not playing club soccer has her in the dog house with the coach this fall-- the coach is treating her like wood in favor of freshman that haven't ever played on the high school level apparently. anyone seen this type of thing at your high school before or even this year??

Completely disagree with this post. Most top orthopedics believe that the increase in youth sports injuries is directly related to kids specializing in one sport and are proponents of playing multiple sports. School work I understand but if your kids grades decline during their chosen sport season then that is an issue.Do not know of many top high school athletes that only play one sport , particularly lacrosse.

You should take into account that your child may want to participate in multiple sports in order to socialize with their friends. They can concentrate on one sport to pursue at college level but can still participate in more. Not keeping up with their studies is a different story. School comes first.

Re: Girls 2019 - 10th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017 Anonymous #182207 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A I think the high school coaches are driving the single sport trend as well. They seem completely aligned with the club people, always pushing the players to do every clinic, camp, offseason team, etc. maybe it's driven by wanting the best athletes playing only in their program? Or maybe it's the money.. The kids seem to be losing out either way.

Not going to spend the time trying to convince you because it sounds like your mind is made, but you couldn't be more wrong.

She's also fortunate to not have to have a part time job during the school year like I did in high school. I think her HS experiences will prepare her well.

She's also fortunate to not have to have a part time job during the school year like I did in high school. I think her HS experiences will prepare her well. She should get a job. That's actually a more valuable life experience than the 3rd sport... I make that statement a bit tongue in cheek, but also as a way to prompt a little thinking. What your daughter is doing might be exactly right for her. But might not be exactly right for someone else. Ultimately, this is about passion for things, and everyone is different. Just as being a one sport athlete isn't a bad thing, neither is being a three-sport athlete (or two or none). Each situation is different. Everyone seems to claim to know what's best for everyone else. They don't. In my daughter's particular situation, she could be a three-sport athlete, but chooses to play only two. She is committed to a top ten lax program, but also likes to participate in theater. So she takes one season off to be in a school play each year. If she said she no longer enjoyed sport two, and wanted to do something else, that would be fine too. It's their lives and they should pursue what makes them happy. As long my kids find their passions and work hard, I'm good with it. I have a couple that play sports, and a couple that don't. I'm proud of all of them.

And I totally agree that having a job in high school it is a very valuable lesson. She's certainly learned that spending money SHE earns is much different than spending mom's and dad's money. I do see your point though. Everyone's situation is different and being a one sport athlete isn't a bad thing - unless the child wants to play other sports and is being convinced not to because of the need to "specialize". HS years go by in a flash - some of the best memories are made in after school activities whether it sports, theatre, clubs, etc.

She is a multisport, multi-gender player and this will make her tougher when she plays against the girls in college. I got it ALL covered

Yes there are worse things a kid can do but you will struggle to find any top high school lacrosse player that does not play another sport. Go read the countless articles by orthopedic surgeons , have never read one that recommends playing 1 sport year round.

You are 100pct incorrect about Phelps. He only swam. He wanted to play football but his mother talked him out of it. And nobody said playing one sport year round. What they said was playing one sport, not three. And it is perfectly fine for a kid to play one sport in high school and pursue other non-athletic pursuits. And sorry, I know several collegiate athletes that did just that. I was one myself. I had other interests as well. It is often pressure from other coaches and parents that get the good athlete to play sports that they like less than the one they r passionate about. For some it's great, for others not. Not everyone wants to define themselves as only an athlete. I hope this entire post is sarcasm? The absolute worst thing a kid could do is become a one sport athlete.

You completely missed the point of my post and the original post, but your wit and sarcasm at the end was cute, if not your reading comprehension. My point was....focusing on one sport and only playing that one sport all year round is a bad idea. I never said anything about not pursuing other interests. If your kid wants to only play one sport and takes a break from that sport while mixing in other interests (art, theater, etc.) more power to them. It's the one sport athlete, as the original post states (offseason leagues, camps, clinics, etc), that focuses all of their time and energy on that one sport that isn't good. The freaks of nature, Michael Phelps, aside. Get it now???

It's actually comical what an absolute moron you are .The fact that you think the above implies that tells me you have no idea how a study is done . Feel bad for your kid that she has a father who clearly has a learning disability , cannot be easy on her .According to you the studies that show overweight kids in junior high tend to stay overweight as adults implies that overweight high school kids must tend to be thin adults .

My daughter talked with a coach from a competitive D1 program a couple of weeks ago and was told she was the first 2019 they have talked with, and it's new for them to reach out this early, as they usually start talking with recruits during the summer before junior year. Heard the same from several other schools in the 20-40 ranking range. Also, several top 20 schools she's talked to have several verbals, but still have plenty of open spots.

Re: Girls 2019 - 10th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017 Anonymous #184552 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A And even more spots available in other schools that are not in the top 40 but are very solid academically. Going into panic mode and rush this decision could really cause a lot of problems later. We're more into finding that right fit for academics, social and lacrosse.

Ivies are different in that they don't provide the academic infrastructure of non-ivies to help athletes. Stanford and Duke, for instance, provide tutoring and time management help through their student-athlete academic services departments. Quite a big difference. It is true that the hardest part is getting in. But for laxers (and other athletes) it's much easier, and that can be great, or a problem. The football team at Harvard, for example, over recruits by close to 50% because they know that many kids will drop football/not cut it academically because it can be overwhelming for a kid who isn't a good fit. It is important to make sure a school is a good fit for your kid. Just because they can get in, doesn't make it the right place. Now if your kid gets into Harvard, Stanford, Duke and Northwestern, I'm not saying they should go to a much weaker academic school instead. What I am saying is that these highly competitive academic schools have differences, and one might fit a kid better than another.

I would rather teach my children to always set their goals high and to work diligently to exceed their goals while constantly looking for new challenges and setting new goals. What schools they go to and what level they play is not important. The important thing is that they set goals, work hard and enjoy what they are doing. Playing it safe and looking for the sure thing is no way to go through life.

Their philosophy is one team per age group to keep the drama down, and to try to put out the best team they can at that particular age group. And, more to your answer, you have to remember that this is not a contest to see who can get the most girls recruited. It's a means to get the girls into a college that they are comfortable in at a discounted tuition, while also playing lacrosse. And, I echo your comment...Good luck to all the girls, regardless of which club they play for or which school they choose.

Not the case here, other top clubs have around 30 2019's committed at this point. Lay off, say congrats, and wish the girl(s) good luck.

First of all the Ivies have great need-based help so u very well might get some money. The grades depend on how good your daughter is and which Ivy. Hasn't the coach told you? standard comment is A's and B's in the toughest courses (honors/AP) preferably more As than Bs. But the best recruit can be a bit lower, a weaker lax player can be recruited for great grades.

A 3.3 wont work unless she's an absolute star. Also, she will need at least a 1350 SAT. Again, unless she's a star.

Going for a second visit in a couple weeks. Guess I will find out then. At Ivy's it is all about the academic index and they take UNWEIGHTED GPAs. So you can't take no AP or Honors classes, but an A counts equally in their formula AP/Honors class or not which is why the Ivy coaches will tell you only take AP/Honors in the subjects your kid is trongest in, regular classes in the others. And test scores - ACT or SAT - counts 2x your GPA for Academic Index (AI) calculations, so test scores matter a lot and can be very valuable to an Ivy coach. They have some leeway for the highest rated recruits as they need to hit an overall AI score for the whole class.

Don't panic and do not listen to the majority of trolls on this site. There are some on this sight who can offer valuable insight but most are jealous, bitter, know nothing haters. If an Ivy is expressing interest go take a look and hear what the coach has to say. Let the coach tell you and your daughter what GPA and Test scores she will need. She is a 2019 right? There is time to pull the grades and test scores up if you need to. I do not know the Index minimum but I do know that if the coach really wants your daughter they will wait and see if she can get the required marks. Don't listen to anyone on this site who tells you that you need to have xyz in order to get into an Ivy or you will only get xyz scholarship or you will not be able to get a real degree. They are jealous, bitter, hateful POS. They think because it didn't happen for their daughter it can't happen for your daughter. It can happen. Your daughter can find a great fit. Go for gold and always listen to the schools who express interest.

Ivy's have a need based tuition. It is a little different for each Ivy, but they are all pretty close, since their Alumni endowment is larger than most schools. They also take into account other financial obligations you have and where you live. If your making $125k on LI, you will probably get 30-40k in aid. The link below is the aid calculator Princeton uses and is pretty accurate. So don't stress too much. Good luck! http://admission.princeton.edu/financialaid/estimator

Apparently not. Tourneys and showcases exist for the sole purpose of highlighting a players ability in club ball. No one on here factors into account some teams play absolutely evenly and some play their top 12 while the rest of the poor girls stand on the sideline and watch so the team can say we win. Frankly some of the best teams in this age group you don't hear a peep from. But keep commmeting on how good or how 2nd tier some teams are if it makes you feel good.

Not saying they are the best just saying they consistently have girls commit to top lacrosse schools and academic schools year after year. Doing something right, as are a number of the better clubs.

That's probably true but based on recent history it is hard to make a case for any program other than UNC or Maryland winning the title. Maybe USC in a few years.

Decent age group, but less competitive than usual for YJ. Most age groups have a strong core and a few standout studs to carry them through the tough games. This age has a very solid core but missing the few horses to ride on. Still have to be considered in top 5 in nation, and that's great. The only team YJ needs to worry about is 2023, right now they are way off the mark.

Re: Girls 2019 - 10th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017 Anonymous #192631 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A My 2019 committed after not attending camp. She had an offer from another school after not attending camp. She also did attend a camp that paid off in terms of that coach immediately reaching out. All her looks from various schools came from fall and summer recruit tourneys, and, other venues such as select games, select events. If someone notices your daughter at tourneys, it is a fast turnaround in terms of them reaching out.

Re: Girls 2019 - 10th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017 Anonymous #192641 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A My daughter got interest from summer tourney from a school that she didn't doncamp Got invite to campus etc. she also go interest from camps at 2 other schools she was interested in as well with offers. Schools do like for kids to come to camp Because it's a more Personal setting to evaluate the player. I guess it really depends on the coach and how they recruit.

Re: Girls 2019 - 10th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017 B_O_T_C #192645 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A agreed on fast turn around. But our experience was that after that, the next step was usually to come either to camp, or to prospect day (which often had a clinic/camp that weekend) etc. seemed to us that most places, at least towards the upper end of D1 programs, liked to get first-hand experience and be able to coach directly. Interesting to hear that is not how it works sometimes.

(I think there are other benefits like improving your game, having fun with teammates etc.) I think narrowing list to realistic places to play and then attending camps is the best bang for the buck. Thoughts? Our experience was that our daughter got noticed at tournaments and then coaches reached out to her club coach and schedules calls to get to know her and express interest. In two cases she went to their camps during her rising sophomore summer and was then offered, and in another case she didn't go to their camp but did a visit with other top recruits and they offered after that. If the notion is skip the tournaments and just do the camps, I think that is a flawed approach. The coaches typically identify who they have interest in at the tournaments and then schedule calls, invite to camp and or a visit and then offer if academics and athletics are a match.

This will be her only opportunity to go through this process (and yes, I understand that it is non-binding at this point) so we think it is important to take our time. I have been through this with older children and I don't feel the need to allow her commit early so that she can crow about it to Ty Xanders and others who trumpet this stuff.

Re: Girls 2019 - 10th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017 B_O_T_C #192654 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A This past summer my step daughter commited as a rising soph to a top tier d1 team. At this point my husband is questioning whether that was a wise choice. Maybe should've waited for fall tournaments as perhaps a sweeter offer would come. I have however heard(and not sure if true) that once a kid boy or girl commits, it brings the other coaches curiosity up. There's poaching in everything

Re: Girls 2019 - 10th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017 B_O_T_C #192660 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Yes, that's why we have counselled our daughter to wait-- we will be more informed buyers after the fall season. I can understand committing earlier if it is a "are you kidding me you can get into that school!" but in our book there are only 2 or 3 of those for us and they have not offered her yet. Now, if one of those 2 or 3 schools does not offer her at the end of the fall season, she will gladly accept one of the offers she already has or potentially consider others that might come in during/after fall ball.

Re: Girls 2019 - 10th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017 B_O_T_C #192676 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A We waited until Fall of junior year after visiting several schools. Decided on a D2 3 hours away instead of D1 a plane ride away. 2 of my daughters friends jumped the gun and committed as sophomores to D1 schools that they never visited and now as seniors are realizing they will be 4-5 hour plane ride from home AND the current freshmen did not play much in their fall season and are miserable. Another girl we know was forced to commit to a school near Canada because it was her only offer and her obnoxious father wants to tell people she's playing D-1. I predict all will be home after first season. Parents- do your homework. Trust your daughters, nobody cares what division they play for- let them make the decision! They're the ones that will be going away, not you! Offers will come right up until senior year so enjoy the process. Fall ball tourneys are under rated, that's where so many scouts go and are able to see the athletes clearer. Best of luck

I guess they are not the majority, but lax is generally a pretty high class demographic to begin with. And w aid packages and scholarships (at non-ivies), if the kid has the grades, these places seem pretty good to me. By no means the only places. I don't want to be accused of snobbery. Was just responding to the poster that asked what the "are you kidding me you can get into that school!" list for people was. That is mine for my kid.

Sorry just not true. You can become more informed if you actually go to the financial aid calculators at Harvard's site for an example. If you live in NY and have annual income of 200k and assets of 500k not including house, you get close to half of the cost covered by aid if you have two kids in college. Now if you consider that financially needy, ok, but i don't. Ivies are way more generous w aid and to much higher thresholds than most non-ivies. Now of course having the grades and the playing ability are not easy. But the cost of going to an Ivy for a middle-class family is not the main problem relative to many other schools out there.

You are spot on BUT, two qualifiers: 1. Ivies offer no merit scholarships. 2. Ivies offer no athletic scholarships. So, there really is no one correct answer. Depends on the parents finances, the kids academics, and the kids athletic ability as to which schools are more affordable. But you are right, meeting 100% of financial need, as the Ivies do, might make a huge difference in the costs depending on one's finances.
