[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the recruiting is from summer invitational recruiting camp events and summer club play.[/quote]

I guess that begs the question - how does one get invited to a summer invitational, and who does the inviting??

Thanks.[/quote]

Can be nominated by club coach or (sometimes) the HS coach, augmented by the tournament directors scouting club tournaments and identifying players.[/quote]

Sometimes there are "feeder camps" that funnel players to the elite recruiting camps like Jake Reed's Nike Blue Chip.  Some camps invite players to apply by submitting videotape.[/quote]

Videotape?  Are these videos shot by a parent, a vendor, the club/school? [/quote]

If people can afford it they often hire a vendor, but parents with practice can learn to acceptably video the action and put together a highlights tape using the movie editing programs on PCs/Macs.  Sometimes now people are uploading to YouTube, and you could watch some posted recruiting videos to get a sense of how tight or not the focus should be, etc.  You'll see that generally there will be a light bubble highlighting the player as each action clip begins--you can generally figure out how to do that special effect on the computer.  Most parent's efforts are pretty amateurish looking, though, so that's why so many people hire a service if they can.  The only problem with trying to rely on the school's game tape is that often the focus is field wide to see all the action so it can be tough to see detail on a given player's skills.[/quote]
