How did you narrow down the schools to look at? And how do you fit in all the camps? We are starting the process and it is so overwhelming….add in lax and it makes it even more so.
Well it helped that my daughter loved lax so much she wanted to do everything. She made a list. Reached out to them during the club year. Before the fall the Club looked at her list. Told her what was a reach and what was a fit. They didn't discourage her from the reach schools. Just said it's harder to get into. The scheduling was a little hard because they tend to have camps around the same time. But she worked it out that she hit her top four list at least once. She was able to attend an prospect Camp / Clinic at one school three times.
Every club my daughter was on handled their recruiting different, but kinda the same. If that makes sense. They reached out to the coach everytime she went to a camp or showcase.They handled their styles of recruiting differently but in the end there was no different. I am sure my daughter would have ended up at the same college if she stayed with the lower ranked team. Impress in the clinic and they become interested.
I agree. As long as lower ranked team is getting to right tourneys and your daughter is playing a significant role she can be seen.
Being on a better team and not playing or having a less than significant role will probably hurt her.
Don’t expect great things from the clubs regarding recruiting.. parents will do most of the work so educate yourself asap. Don’t rely on this site for too much because some people on here are trying to manipulate and or enhance themself. Talk to those you trust and get out on the circuit. I found most of the costly allstar under armor imitations to be huge money grabs and of no help.
Daddy or mommy ball is alway a huge negative because the coaches will reach out to club first before and after 9/1. Sometimes after 9/1 they will go direct but don’t count on it.
