Question, my daughter is a pretty good lacrosse player and is currently in middle school. Most of her team is moving to private schools, all of the typical powerhouses, in anticipation of high school. During the transition, a couple of parents said that the schools pursued their kids for lacrosse. One added that they were already getting some money for their last year in middle school.
That being said, these kids are good but by no means the standouts on their team. So my question, are hs coaches really pursuing ms players, or is it more likely parents reach out and let them know they're interested? And how frequently is money actually doled out for girls lacrosse?
Want to understand the landscape for next year. Also, how early do you need to apply?
HS coaches can ask where ms kids are thinking of going to HS and ask them to shadow their school. there is no lacrosse money or any athletic money given to MS or HS kids. this is against IAAM rules. They may be getting financial aid or maybe academic scholarships. Parents reach out to the schools to set up shadow days and then say how their kid is getting recruited by some coach. best thing to do is to reach out to the coach of any private school you are interested in and let them know your kid will be shadowing.
