[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s start using this page to help each other. Anyone out there have any recruiting advice in terms of what’s best to get your name out there. Prospect camps, recruiting tournaments, all of the above?[/quote]

Have heard/read a number of parents of successfully recruited players highlight the importance of, in order:

(1) Big tournaments--especially in summer before 11th grade.  Lots of coaches, watching best teams.  This requires playing on the right club, but coaches do watch lower pools as well at the most important tourneys like President's Cup;
(2) Prospect camps at target schools.  Smaller groups, demonstrates interest, has shown to be successful for a number of 2025s we know;
(3) Bigger all-star tournaments like American Select;

Many others have cited big camps like Best in Class or Juniors Open as good experiences, but not clear whether they are good for coaching/development, or actual recruiting.

What is more opaque for me is the communication with coaches.  When is it appropriate to initiate?  What should the expectations be?  What is the right timing of setting up a IWLCA page or other site?  Would imagine that these gaps will be filled by a meeting with a club's recruiting coordinator as the 9th grade season starts.[/quote]

1) Freshman year, you should have a Sports Recruit set up, with information completed.
2) At anytime you can send out introductory emails to schools, and follow up emails before summer tournaments with your schedule.
3) They can't reach out to you besides a generic reply with their camp information but they can reach out to your club director/coaches.
4) Update your profile with game film and highlight videos as needed.[/quote]

I would also add GRADES.  Having poor grades in high school will close a lot of doors.

Start sending out emails to college coaches during your freshman year.  Introduce yourself, tell them about your successes and as others have said email before summer tournaments.  Coaches want to see multi sport athletes so let them know about your other sports.

Post videos on sports recruits.

If you play for a high school that is in a competitive league/division use game film from your high school season.  There has been a lot of debate on here about how important HS play is.  I have found that coaches do look at hs film as it demonstrates how you match up against older players.  Also most of the college coaches reached out to our high school coach to find out about them as players and people.

Prospect camps of the individual school variety were super important.

Summer tournament play with your club team is definitely important.

Big tournaments, UA150, All America, American Select, not so important.  Its fun for the players and they get the chance to play with girls from around the country and its a resume builder but it never came up in any of the conversations that she had with college coaches.  They can serve as a barometer for your player as to how they compare to others, and also gives them an idea on what they need to work on themselves.
