Girl’s recruitment is earlier than boys, so if your target is elite D3, you need to figure out how to get seen before the start of her Sr. year. Top D3 is done by then, with most kids having done a “pre-read” in spring semester of Jr. year or even earlier.

There are always spots for good players, but most will be filled by then.

If your daughter is not looking for the hyper elite D3, and it’s more about fit, then put together what her priorities are for schools. Also, if she’s willing to go to a women’s college, there are some decent options academically, and they are usually taking players later.

If not hyper elite, then do your fit list, reach out to the coaches and ask about ID clinics (most D3s do them, they are moneymakers for the schools, but if your kid can have a breakout performance, she will get seen), put together your highlight reel and send it as well. D3 coaches usually have only one or two assistants, so email them as well.

good luck![/quote]

This is right.  If you are looking at UAA or NESCAC it makes sense to get on the coach's radar at the same time as D-1s.  For our DD there were a couple of coaches that emailed with her for a long time (fall Sophomore year) with the deal done and pre-read done in the Spring of Junior year.  Some need to wait for pre-read until all junior grades are in -- some do not.[/quote]
