[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are new to the area, TX transplants. My son is a converted football player, whose athleticism and good hand eye has made him a very good player. He is now a rising sophomore and would like to try to get recruited to play at the college level. The process is all so confusing. For example, how important is it to play for a club team? How important is it to attend a private school? What's the deal with all of these recruitment tournaments - 900 dollars or more for a recruitment camp? Please help me sort through all of this. Thank you![/quote] My son goes to a Loudoun County public school with a strong lacrosse team. He also plays on BlackWolf. Never had to pay for showcase tournaments or camps. He basically got recruited out of high school. He's off to a D1 school. I know pleanty of parents who sent their kids to private school to get seen. This had been totally unnecessary in our case.[/quote] Let's be transparent here -- your son got recruited via Blackwolf, not from his high school play. He may never have participated in any showcases or camps, but for sure you're paying BW for the tournament exposure. I'm not judging or saying that is a bad thing, my son does the same. I could probably guess who your son is too based on him playing for BW and for a LCPS school - congrats to him on the accomplishment! Just don't want parents here thinking if you play for a top public program, college coaches will flock to watch you and recruit you (they won't). Right or wrong, club ball is here to stay and it is the primary driver that will get you recruited. [/quote]
