[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I played for a top D3 team, graduating 10 years ago. Five of my former teammates are either D3 head or D1 assistants coaches, so I think I can speak relatively informatively on this issue.

No, do not waste your money on highlight films. Coaches want to see the complete package. Being a lacrosse player who can compete at the college level has much more to do with how you are able to fit in athletically then your ability to score a few highlight worthy goals against suspect competition.

99% of recruiting is done during summer camps and tournaments (A industry that has gotten completely out of hand in the last decade, but that's another post).

If you have a few schools in mind that you are interested in. Email the assistant coaches (They do a majority of the heavy lifting in regards to recruiting). Tell them your grade, your school and what tournaments / camps you will be at in the summer. If they want to see game film on you they will ask for it, and most likely they will want to see a whole game, not just highlights.

Also, when it comes to D3 keep in mind most of the teams in the top 10 will recruit 20+ freshmen each year. Since there are no commitments or scholarships involved they have to keep a fresh supply of players coming through. Just because a coach says they would love to have you come to their school isn't a guarantee of playing time, or making the teams for that matter. Keep that in mind when picking a school.
