[quote=Anonymous]A few tips: 1. The longtime coaches in the area have great ties to schools, not just Division I but NESCAC schools. If your son is already at a school talk to the coach about what might be a good fit. 2. Lacrosse recruiting at the Division I level is, unfortunately, now happening earlier and earlier, with kids committing their sophomore years. The Ivies may be waiting a bit more, until the early fall of junior year, but they too may be moving up to compete with other schools. A lot of the college coaches hate it -- the error rate is much higher -- but they feel they have to do it to compete (there was a recent NYTimes article about this). 3. Given the early timing, the center of gravity for recruiting has shifted in a big way to clubs and showcase tournaments (e.g. during the fall of the sophomore year). You should be able to talk to your school's coach or to other families to find out more about the club experience. 4. As stated, there are almost no full scholarships in Division I lacrosse because of the small number of scholarships and big rosters. If, on the other hand, the lacrosse angle is more about getting help with admissions to a competitive place, or just playing out the sport at the highest level, that's fine. You need to be realistic that there probably won't be a lot of money in it.[/quote]
