[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 public school where be was recruited. We had a solid program. Stonebridge in Ashburn. He also played club, but got the exposure in high school.[/quote]

Went, not goes. He s at  D1 school now. Also, I won't say the club team he played, but one that is often bashed on this board. For not being competitive. Despite what people have said, somehow he still ended up at a D1 school and now as a softcore started this last spring.[/quote]

Good for your son.  Nonetheless, the odds of being recruited go up exponentially if your son plays for a WCAC or IAC school and plays for a competitive club.  More exposure means more opportunity, whether looking for D1 or D3 schools.[/quote]

Could not disagree with this more.  The odds of being recruited are a result of being a good player and great student end of story.  More good players choose to play for WCAC and IAC schools especially in MOCO.  The recruiting takes places at the club and showcases.  Despite the comments here, UA team took the best players.  If a player is on a top club team and is a top player on that team, that player get's recruited regardless of HS.  The WCAC and IAC schools do provide a few extra chances to be seen but the increase is not exponential.  The bottom line is that a players ability and academics are the only things that get them recruited.  [/quote]
