Georgetown Visitation Lacrosse- Recruiting Practices

[Anonymous]

SSSAS picked up the coach who was let go, and the SSSAS community is thrilled to have her. Hope the new Visi coaches get the support they need from the admin. SSSAS has the benefit of a great head of school and athletics department. Cant wait to meet on the playing field - its always a great game between two top teams - both teams represent their schools in both skill and sportsmanship.

Visitation will be down this year. Too much instability from the front office. Saints will dominate the ISL once again and I could maybe see Holton being able to run with the Saint for one half of play.

The Potomac girls lacrosse program has also been on the rise.

Visitation for as big as a school as they are, should be a lot better.

All very true.

You are incorrect on every count. Visitation has not "recruited" anyone from other schools, public or otherwise, to pitch and catch for the softball team. The enrollment cap at the school rarely even allows the school to accept a transfer student, especially during junior or senior years. And there is no one who receives a "free" education at Visi.
Please check and verify your sources. You are so far off base - pun intended. There are no words.

Your facts are misguided...period You are naive to think that Visi does not do anything that other schools do...
Visitation has in fact recruited players from other schools.. (My Daughter)and countless teammates of hers
And people do in fact attend visitation for free...(Former student of mine) (daughters teammate) (neighbor)

Why doesn't Visi list the roster on their website? All the other schools do. We were looking to see the girls we knew who made varsity but there is no roster. That's really odd.

None of their teams in any sport list a roster.

OK but why? Other schools all do. It seems really strange.

Certain sports at Visitation aggressively recruit players that are at other private schools (for example K – 12). Technique seems to rely on using Visitation parents or friendly club coaches with ties to Visitation to make the first move. Again, to be clear, this is not talking about recruiting kids from K-8 schools ( which they do as well but is not problematic) but targeting students attending peer schools that go through high school.

In my experience girls' schools are more sparing with what information/full names they will put on their websites. I would guess that is the particular concern.

Holton and Stone Ridge both have the rosters on their web pages.

Different schools, different policies.

As does NCS. So what girls schools are you referring to PP?

Part of not posting may be due to early recruiting--a number of freshmen are now orally committed to top colleges but can't make their HS varsity teams. Doesn't look great for the committed players (or for the elite colleges) to have their names posted on JV roster.
