2027 Girls Class & Recruiting Outlook🥍

[Anonymous]

What are the vibes on the area 2027 classes? Is it a lot of private school players around the DMV? Have players been getting out to prospect camps this fall? If you are a 2027 parent, what have you done so far with your recruiting to get the ball rolling?

As a 2027 here is what we've done

1) Sent about 35-40 introductory emails to schools
2) Sent another 25-30 follow-up emails
3) After doing UA150 and AS last year, doing Juniors for summer 2025
4) This winter doing Lacrosse Masters Camp, which is targeting high academics schools.
5) Will try to do more Prospect Camps this summer and not the big events like All America or American Select

We need to prioritize both time and money at this point and at same time try to be realistic of what she may get offers at. Everyone wants BC or UNC to come calling but its unlikely so working those in the next tier of schools, a few inside top-10 but many in that 10-30 range. Trying to also see schools that are fits if she never plays lacrosse.

Are you heading to the fall prospect camps and planning to attend some in the winter? I spoke with a 2026 mom of Ivy League commits, and she highly recommended participating in the fall and winter-specific school prospect camps. Her daughter was injured, and if they hadn't went to some of the fall and winter prospect camps because of the injury, it might of impacted her recruiting more since she was not able to do much in the summer.

We aren't doing any Fall, but are doing least one winter.

Entire month of November we are doing tournaments so I just felt like that was the focus for fall.

Got this email so sharing in case any 2027 in DMV interested. It is important to use some of the time in early winter /late winter to get to some of these school camps . I would get to both of these camps if you have the high academic focus and top tier player.

Copied from email:

if others want to share any camp prospect ID camps for late winter and early winter, that would be great.

I keep hearing college coaches say they like multi-sport athletes. At my daughter's private school unless you play club, you won't make the HS varsity team. How are girls expected to play club in one sport during its HS off season and be on the HS team of the current season sport? For example, how does my daughter play club soccer while also trying to play HS basketball and or HS lacrosse? What takes priority?

Play club in the sport you want to play college for. Everything else, play only for the HS team. Obviously not all schools are the same, but it sounds like you go to a super competitive HS. College coaches will understand that.

Your club soccer team should not interfere with HS lacrosse right? Now if the HS lacrosse team is so elite that it only takes kids who play Club lax, then its a different issue.

NOVEMBER 15 Monmouth, Columbia, Rutgers and Fairfield all in one spot. if one of these schools is your target school you should go to this camp and get on the radar early and it'll be a smaller group as well.

November 15th Prospect Day here at Monmouth. We will be limiting capacity to ensure that all attendees have maximum time with our Monmouth staff as well as our incredible guest coaches for both developmental and evaluation and recruiting opportunities. With that said, we will be closing registration early due to current numbers, so please be sure to register before Friday November 1st to secure a spot.

With an elite line up of guest coaches that currently include: SHANNON NEE: Columbia (Ivy League), TT NASLONSKI: Rutgers (Big 10), Jen Porretto: FAIRFIELD (MAAC), we are looking forward to a great day of competitive lacrosse and an intimate recruiting opportunity for all participants.

This event offers participants a high level, complete day of lacrosse with hands-on individual skill instruction, small sided drill play, into full field game simulations as well as components of strength and conditioning and movement (and an optional campus tour).

You're on the right track here. As far as summer prospect camps, avoid scheduling ANY during the tournament season, if you can. Your daughter will be exhausted halfway through the tournaments. This was very noticeable across the board with the 2026s. The first couple of tournaments, the girls played much better than the last two. You need to leave some gas in the tank for camps in August, and then the crazy starts, unless you're one of the ones to get an offer on Sep. 1.

I would recommend you all join the Facebook group Parent to Parent Girls Lacrosse Recruiting. I learned about it here last year and they compile great lists of all of the information you are looking for.

Most acknowledge that a profile of a multisport athlete may appear impressive within a recruitment framework; however, the reality is more nuanced. If an individual does not excel at a high level in their primary sport, the recruitment process may present significant challenges. A broader approach to recruitment may be necessary, irrespective of the athlete's participation in multiple sports. It is worth noting that coaches engaged in the recruitment of lacrosse players often prioritize those who demonstrate elite performance in lacrosse over those who are classified as multisport athletes. It is essential for prospective athletes to maintain high academic performance, as this will further enhance their overall appeal to potential recruiters compared to a multisport athlete. The multisport athlete usually holds more value in the middle school years than in high school since those who specialize in high school, especially if they are trying to play Division 1, can train outside of practice and actually improve.

I copied and pasted that from some recruitment blog a year ago, but I can't remember which one to credit it. I forgot to add that at the top of the post.
