[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Until a few years ago, in this area, clubs were the path to lax college commitments; however, there has been a substantive shift over the past 2-3 years.  Now there are some high school coaches, mostly private but some public, who have successfully developed strong pathways to D1 and other teams.  If your son plays for one of those teams then you will be in good stead.  Most of the boys do also play club but they also are relying on their high school coaches for their recruitment and commitment path.

And, yes, the recruitment tournaments as well as the recruiting camps are critical.  Expensive, too, unfortunately![/quote]

Our DS is a sophomore and we've found this to be the case. He was recruited to private from a strong club team. UnderArmour tryouts are here in June each year - lots of college coaches there. The better club teams are invited/play at tournaments where lots of college coaches come as well.  Also, a good video that he sends out to coaches at schools he's interested in is important too.  I found lots of good info and lists of prospect days (less important unless you are invited by them) at beginninglacrosse.com or something like that.  I will say it's weird feeling like you have little choice over what schools are interested in your kid.

Good luck to him. [/quote]
