I would love to know what this poster means. I agree you need to ask yourself if your kid is getting better. If your kid is on one of the top 15 or so teams in the country, regardless of being on #1 or #15 your son will get seen. If you can't play for the Crabs scoring a goal or two or stopping a goals against them will get you noticed as well. Your player has to be on a team where they get play time, and fit with the culture of the club.

I don't know a single kid who was recruited for D1 from film or a HS game. Every one was seen at a tourney, a few from showcase appearances. If coaches aren't attending club tourneys do the tourney directors hire a bunch of guys and hand them D1 school lax polos and clipboards? Who are these mysterious guys on the sidelines? Paid actors?
