[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone on this board who has had a son go the D3 route?  If possible my guy would like to get looks from high academic type schools, think NESCAC schools but not necessarily limited to that particular conference.  Son was JV 9th/10th at a high-end WCAC/IAC type program, if all goes well should make varsity next season (junior year)  and get some PT in games where the team has a nice lead.  Not a starter/superstar (hence D3) but certainly a nice little player who's still growing and can use both hands.  Currently on a top club's second team.  3.7 GPA and will be working to maintain that or improve it if possible.

I've heard/read people recommend Lacrosse Masters this summer, are there any other events to look at in summer (and this fall and winter)?  Is summer after junior year most important for these types of players?[/quote]

Here is one data point to help answer your question.  There is a player graduating from Yorktown HS this year who was a four year starter, racked up over 300 points (goals + assists) in four years, made all-district and all-region for all four years, was voted player of the year in his district as a senior, who is attending Bowdoin to play lacrosse.  His GPA is well over 4.0 due to AP classes.  I don't know the kid personally, but this info is on his recruiting video on YouTube, and my son is a 2026 and is tracking players such as this to set his own expectations as to where he can expect to be recruited.  If a player is halfway through HS and not yet set foot on the field in a varsity game, and he cannot make the top team at one of the higher end travel programs (keeping in mind that those teams are money grabs and carry something like 27-30 players on their top teams) he is nowhere close to the trajectory to play at a NESCAC school.[/quote]
