[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When do the ECNL/GA clubs start talking with their players about college recruitment? What are the first steps you should take as a parent -- and at what age? Are the college ID camps worth it? Thank you.[/quote]

They start talking about it in the freshman year (06 currently), and that's a tme to get your first highlight video together.  Then recruitment itself starts happening the following year.  College ID camps may or may not be worth it, depending on how much exposure you are getting through your club.  My own take is that if you are at a club which brings college coaches into the club to talk to the kids and your kid's team is playing at the top level in showcases you will get the exposure you need that way and the ID camps are probably a waste of time and money.  On the other hand if your kid is the standout on a weaker team at a lower level club, the ID camps may offer a way to get some exposure you wouldn't otherwise get.

Perfectly willing to be told I'm wrong though.[/quote]
