IWLCA Question
My daughter's team is playing this weekend in IWLCA. I am looking at her bracket and the rest of the brackets. I see several with two or more of the teams I consider elite in them and I see many that are comprised of teams that I have never heard of. Unfortunately, my daughter's bracket falls into the latter category. Will there be coaches at all of the games or will the coaches only watch the YJ, Monster, Liberty, Steps, Heroes, Capital, M&D, TLC, Skywalkers... games? I am sure the event will be fun and worth wile regardless but I am hoping that my daughter and her team will be seen. Thank you.
All teams will get looks. There are very good individual players even on some of the lesser competitive teams and the coaches know this. There will also be many coaches from less competitive college programs who would be not spending their time wisely if they only look at the top players from the powerhouse teams. Reality is, just as the students are often over shooting for interest of top programs, there are also programs over shooting for interest from top players. There will be plenty of players and coaches, with opportunities for all.
Coaches will not randomly show-up. Send the top ten on your daughter’s list e-mails, send video, that will increase the chances they come watch. Be realistic, find the right mix of academics and level of lacrosse.
Here is a quick list of other considerations to put that school list together, there are others online...
When determining the college or university you may wish to attend, the following questions are helpful:
Do they have a women's lacrosse program and what level of play (Division I, II, III)?
What course subjects or degree do I wish to obtain?
What is the academic selectivity of these schools compared with academic performance?
How large is the college or universities student body?
What is the geographic local of the college or university?
(small town, urban city or suburb)
Do I wish to stay close to home or am I open to other states/regions?
(consider distance and method of travel)
What type of school in terms of size of enrollment?
What is my financial situation? Do I need a scholarship (athletic/academic, financial aid)?
Would I stay at this school if I no longer played lacrosse?
