Thank you for the insights. My son has been having some conversations with his goalie coach about prep so that dialogue has started. Honestly, the only prep school that seems to make sense for us as a family is KUA as my husband’s family lives in that community (I would feel good about him being close to family, he would have alot of people looking out for him and supporting him). It sounds like my son needs to set up a visit and watch a game to see if he feels that he could compete for a goalie slot next year as a repeat 11th grader. I had posted back a month or so ago in a panic over finances as my husband’s company is dissolving but I’m feeling a bit more hopeful that something will work out. My son is just an average student in a 3000+ school and he would probably aim higher if he had a samller environment. I guess the steps:

1. Get a written evaluation from his goalie coach

2. Visit KUA, meet with admissions, see a game

3. Have my son follow through on the application process if he is really serious

Any other advice/suggestions? I really appreciate the comments. Sometimes processing this stuff is a challenge.
