Is that the coach that's going to VDA?

No way VDA would hire him.

Yeah, no way. Must be the worst coach in the Mid-Atlantic. Maybe in Mid-Atlantic + North-Atlantic.

I didn’t say he was a bad coach.

He definitely can't.

Get lots of film. Make sure her grades are good. Then do everything the PP said re: the Renee Lopez book.

If it's the NS I'm thinking of, didn't the current club throw more money at him? And if I was VDA, I wouldn't touch any of those coaches. That's like a step backward.

Favoritism LOL every single team has that your kid is not good enough.

Move your kid they will get the same play time.

Signed mother of 4 division one players. Even one walk on.

Coach says she should start, but only puts her in starting spots when there’s an injury. She’s versatile and plays almost every position. At showcases she plays about half or more of the game, but doesn’t start unless there’s an injury. She really wants to play D1, does she have a chance? I wonder if we should we start shopping for a new club that will give her a starting spot or just stick it out a couple more years.

If her team is of playoff quality, she will be fine. If she is on a mid-tier team, she should look.

Curious about your reasoning about team quality. Is it because college coaches use it as a measuring stick - non-starter on good team isn’t good enough but good player on bad team isn’t their fault they are on a bad team? Or would a college coach make their own assessment and think they are finding a diamond in the rough

In my experience with my older DD, and from conversation's that I have had with college coaches, they aren't really looking at whether or not she started a specific game. They are looking to evaluate her during the time that she is on the field. And the better the team that she is on, the more looks she will get and the better the roster is. College coaches would rather take a kid from a winning team over a team with a poor record because winning is ultimately what the college game is about.

This was just my experience. I think it also depends on the level of D1 she is looking to attain.

The club, league, and other players starting over her literally have NOTHING to do with college recruiting. Hate to break it to your DD, but only something like 6% of student athletes go on to play in college - at ANY level. Best advice I was given when we started the college scouting process, pick around 30 schools at each Division (NAIA, D1-D3), go on virtual tours of the colleges she's interested in, make a ton of game tape (we record every game and send to college coaches weekly to keep on their radar), and make sure your social media profiles are clean and up to date. This book was extremely useful for us as a guide for recruiting: https://rlopezcoaching.com/looking-for-a-full-ride/. It's a long and time consuming process so make sure she's ready to carve out time to draft emails and communicate with coaches regularly when she's eligible. Good luck!
