[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do most players on club teams care about college recruiting? I don’t get the sense that it’s the majority of club team players or parents. [/quote]

If you continue to play at u16 and u19, most of the mid tier to top clubs are focused on college recruiting even though the numbers are in the favor of the DMV players.  Although there are numerous colleges with field hockey programs, the DMV parents focus on the top USnews T50 and liberal arts T20 for their DD to attend.  The overlap between those USNEWS Top 50 are approx 20-25 schools offering FH and LAC T20 are approx 10-11 schools.  Each of theses schools recruit approx 5-7 US players per year.  So if you take 30 schools with say 6 recruits that gets you 180 athletes in that pool of schools.  The DMV gets approximately 12-17 players per year into that school list (mixture of high and mid tier D1 ..ivy league/UMD/BC and  D3 FH schools like Hopkins, Williams, Amherst).  If you expand beyond those schools and add in T51-100 and LAC T21-50, you have more options since more of those schools offer FH.  LAC 21-50, over 90% offer FH and T51-100, about 23 schools offer FH.  That’s another 50 schools with 300 spots.  DMV gets approx 5-8 spots in the T51-100 (higher ranked FH teams like Syracuse) and 15 spots in LAC (mixture of highly ranked FH D3 NESCACS like Middlebury and lower tier NESCAC like Trinity and lower tiered FH programs of non-NESCAC like Oberlin).[/quote]
