Girls D1 Lacrosse recruiting- need help

The fall camps are new (maybe in the last few years?) and I’m not sure as many TOP juniors are attending as most know where they are going, but I’m sure some who haven’t firmed up lax with academics will still be looking for their spots.

Your post reads like you are waiting for coaches to contact you. Has your daughter sent any emails, visited the schools, had contact with the college coaches either directly or through her hs/club coaches? The college coaches can’t call her but she can call them. She can send emails, she can visit and meet with team members. My daughter sent a lot of emails directing the coach to her play in certain tournaments, like 'I was playing in game 21 on July 15, I’m #2 and have a stick with gold and maroon stripes on the shaft. I scored goals at 10:30 and 12:50 of the first half. I had a good transition at 8:15." The coaches can’t watch the whole of every game. She should also direct them to her highlight film or attach it to her email.

So I don’t think you are done, but I don’t think going to fall camps is going to change recruiting. She can go if she enjoys going to camps, and you never know if the right coach (more likely an assistant) will spot her play and really like her. My daughter was recruited after a summer tournament by a D1 coach - who was reffing a game my daughter played in! Coach liked her style of play, and of course watched her for the whole game, not just a film clip.

Have your club coaches contact the coaches at any schools she’s interested in. They all know each other. And each other’s cousins, sisters, prior coaches, brothers, and friends. Don’t underestimate how much these contacts play a role in the recruiting. I think they are your best source for what is going on and whether to go to any more camps.
