I guess that begs the question - how does one get invited to a summer invitational, and who does the inviting??

Thanks.

Can be nominated by club coach or (sometimes) the HS coach, augmented by the tournament directors scouting club tournaments and identifying players.

Sometimes there are "feeder camps" that funnel players to the elite recruiting camps like Jake Reed's Nike Blue Chip. Some camps invite players to apply by submitting videotape.

Videotape? Are these videos shot by a parent, a vendor, the club/school?

If people can afford it they often hire a vendor, but parents with practice can learn to acceptably video the action and put together a highlights tape using the movie editing programs on PCs/Macs. Sometimes now people are uploading to YouTube, and you could watch some posted recruiting videos to get a sense of how tight or not the focus should be, etc. You'll see that generally there will be a light bubble highlighting the player as each action clip begins--you can generally figure out how to do that special effect on the computer. Most parent's efforts are pretty amateurish looking, though, so that's why so many people hire a service if they can. The only problem with trying to rely on the school's game tape is that often the focus is field wide to see all the action so it can be tough to see detail on a given player's skills.

Thought this article might be of interest since it brings coaches thoughts in about the early recruiting process

High school's have gametape for sports like lacrosse and football. That can be accessible for students to use for making individual tapes. They also keep stats so there are numbers.

Although a tremendous amount of focus has shifted to the club and summer scene, schools will still talk to high school coaches, particularly well-regarded coaches at historically strong programs. They don't want to miss out on the kid who from family or financial circumstances didn't do the club thing. However, without semi-year-round play (facilitated by clubs) it is hard for a player to keep up by high school age with the other kids who have played a great amount of lacrosse.

Do scouts ever visit high school (private or public) games to look for invitees? Do you basically have to belong to a club?

They only come to see that one amazing player and then they happen to see some solid players that can be fit into their program also. That is the advantage to HS's recruiting that one amazing player.

For all sports, I have some friends who have kids that were good - not amazing - who were spotted and recruited after coming to recruite the #1 player but realized another school would get him/her.

Here's a li nk to a tournament at Georgetown and you can see some teans are schools and others are stuff like Madlax:

Included is a list of college's attending.

This is a summer team camp. The fall showcases don't work the same way.

The vast majority of DC's friends who play lax in college did football in the fall. D1 included. Showcases are not needed.

How did they get recruited? Summer camps?

Soccer tends to talk more about "travel teams"--lacrosse usage talks more about "club" teams. Same concept.
