Here’s a recruiting question. What’s more important, standing out at club tournaments or playing well at college clinics? It seems rather hard for some kids to stand out at tournaments because the top kids have the ball the majority of time. So how does the second tier kids on that team get noticed at these tournaments when the top two kids are scoring 60% of the goals?
The answer is really both.
Playing well in tourney gets you on college's radar and put in top group in prospect days. Doing well on prospect days/ clinics can help secure an offer. For some positions, like goalie, Draw specialist and defense, prospect days are much more important than some of the more offensive psotions.
Also depends on level of play. For top 20 schools, very few will offer if you have never played on their campus.
