[quote=Anonymous]GK is definitely different. It’s one of those things where if a team needs a GK they tend to really need one for that recruiting year, but otherwise they don’t recruit. Idk about the ID camps but for GK in particular I would not go to one of the big multiple school camps, since it’s important the coaches for the actual school see him in action. If he stays ECNL level, he will get seen.

The good news for you is that there are a TON of D3 schools in PA in particular. It’s actually crazy — PA has more men’s D3 programs as soccer-crazy California, which is nuts. The bad news is that means the level of play can really vary and some of those schools will possibly disappear in the next decade.

There are so many PA colleges that there are different conferences which vary by level. So for instance the University Athletic Association conference is more competitive than the Presidents Athletic Conference, with the Centennial Conference somewhere in between.

Schools he should consider IMO, given what you said about grades:

Gettysburg 
Muhlenberg
Ursinus
Chatham - This is interesting because it is in Pittsburgh so a good location but also because they are actively trying to recruit boys. The program is new and the school is investing in it. They give good merit aid

What I would do is when your DS is a junior (I can’t remember what year he is), have him email D3 coaches in PA. Some will respond and he can go from there.

I have more thoughts but will have to come back, this is long enough! But feel free to ask more questions. [/quote]
