[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid that played at one of these HA D3 that does well in the NCAA tournament.  He went to one Showball camp and played on a local travel team.  He had the grades and the skills and got the coaches attention at Showball, then followed up with an email to the HC.  [/quote]

We're on a similar path -- I hope. Just wrapped sophomore year. Ivies and D3 are on a different recruiting calendar, so everything I have heard says that it makes sense to do Showball in the summer after junior year. Is that what your son did?[/quote]

Not that poster, but yes, summer after junior year for D3 (I don’t know about ivy - that’s not my kid’s path). We started way too early (at kid’s instigation, but still, we went along with it) by going to a couple of events after Freshman and Sophomore years. It didn’t hurt anything, and now my kid is really comfortable at showcases and talking to coaches. But it didn’t do anything, either. And now, summer after junior year, he is in touch with coaches, has two offers, and will have choices. So hold onto your wallet (and time) and wait till after junior year.[/quote]

Thanks; this is super helpful. Yeah, he went to a couple of camps last fall, and it was clearly too early. As you said, it didn't harm anything—except my wallet.

Best of luck to your son![/quote]
