[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you OP for this thread.  Single lax mom here who knows nothing about the sport, but my sons are fantatics and from what I have been told by other parents and coaches, may be recruitable if it is something they are interested in pursuing.

My oldest son is a rising 10th grader.  I guess we've missed the boat on Div. 1?  My son is actually more interested in attending a Div. 3 school.  Has that boat left the harbor too?

Your son has not necessarily missed the boat but if he has his sights set on D1 you need to get busy reaching out to coaches. First ask his current coach (HS and/or club) their honest take no his recruitability and if so which division they can see him in. Let them be your guide, if they think he is D1 material, then also let them reach out to anyone they might know connections are common with the sport. Then circle in on the kind of school/location get the emails of the coach off the website and have your son send an intro email telling them some basic info and be sure a small clip (highlight tape even a short one) is included. If they like what they see they will respond.

For D3 no your are not late all, its just beginning really into the junior year and normally late summer into fall of senior year is when you might be offered a spot for a D3 team, so he has plenty of time. But in today's fast paced recruiting world..things are happening earlier and earlier so best bet is to stay ahead of the curve ball and reach out to these coaches, it cannot hurt and will only help.

Best of luck and don't be bashful about enlisting the help of the HS and club coach, they should play a pretty pivotal role in this process and if they believe in him, then it will be their pleasure to help out.[/quote]
