But most recruiting is done through the travel team my kid played JV as a 10th grader and was recruited and verbally committed before she stepped on the field for the Varsity. Remember it's all in the eye of the beholder, some coaches may think the kid is great while others don't see any return on investment. Just keep playing hard and show some sportsmanship on the field act like a leader and try not to make a fool of oneself leave that up to us the parents and support one another for crying out loud they are YOUR teammates & friends!
