[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where your kid goes to school matters. Who their high school coach matters. The high school coach plays a key role in recruitment along with which club team the kid plays for. Make sure you have a high school coach who knows what is going on and has connections. Last thing you want is a coach who acts like they know what they are doing but really has no relationships or doesn’t even have one contact. There are very few coaches in the league willing to actually call on behalf of players or work hard to help players. Buyer beware when paying for private schools too. [/quote]

I respect your opinion, and hope it is based on your personal experience. I also agree to an extent as many of our friends' high school coaches were involved/key. However, for our daughter's recruitment (and others we know of), her public high school and high school coach had zero impact on her recruiting (outside of her play with the team) . Our daughter played for Capital and was recruited by several top 25 teams, and though each program we interacted with had their own style, approach and contacts...all of them were part of the club (i.e., coaches/directors).  Looking back at all we know, it all comes down to two things:  1) Have great grades/scores, as this makes your daughter a more attractive recruit from day the process starts; 2) Play great lacrosse and differentiate yourself from other players at your position (this includes athleticism).  Make it easy to be recruited by the schools that have interest in you, and be sure to have an advocate(s) who can speak on your daughter's behalf.   Best of luck to all the girls.[/quote]
