[quote=Anonymous]I have two improbable D3 college athletes as neither of my kids played club in their sport, which is the most obvious path for recruiting. My lax player was captain of his high school team, which might have helped, and he had very good SAT scores/grades in hand by July before his senior year. He also made a highlight video. He focused on one or two schools that seemed like a great academic fit but with lax teams that weren't superpowers. He visited the campuses, met with the coaches, and then called the coach of his favorite school the summer before he applied and asked for a roster spot.

DS found coaches very willing to talk to him if he showed up on campus. There are only so many campus tours that one can take though so it is good to be strategic both about your kid's skills and about their academics. I can't emphasize enough how important it is for the student to be reaching out to the coach (at least in my kids' cases -- both kids are good solid athletes but not standouts). The lax player also did some of the recruiting showcases/camps which really helped him as a player. [/quote]
