Question from someone who is new to lacrosse.

 

How do these young men get recruited by colleges that are so far away? Do the coaches come to Tennessee to see games?

[Redtwin]

Lacrosse recruiting, regardless of your hometown, occurs primarily over the summer at showcase camps, school camps, and tournaments. Very few coaches are willing to come to TN because they can only look at one or two recruits, when the could go to several cities on the Atlantic coast and see a dozen in one game. I would guess that these guys played well over the summer. They probably sent the coaches some film as well.

Thanks.

Where are the camps and tournaments held?

Do the players just sign up for them or do they have to be invited?

If they have to be invited, how do they get invitations?

 

Sorry for all the questions, but I have a young nephew who is interested in playing in college.

The better showcase camps have typically been the TOP205 and Peak 200 in Baltimore. They're "invitation only" but I believe the website have places where you can submit some kind of resume or a coach/official can nominate them. After that, they do have to be selected which is certainly not a gimmie.

 

You can also get some good exposure if you can get on a travel team going to the tournament in Vail or on a team going to Champ Camp. I believe there are a couple of TN all-star teams but don't know much about them. There is a camp at Limestone College called the Divie Top 150 which usually gets coaches from some of the smaller southern DII and DIII schools. They also take an all-star team from the camp to Champ Camp so that's an option.

 

I hope that helps.

Thanks again.

It is Dixie Top 150, and it is at Catawba College in Salisbury, North Carolina. Just a little correction.

Thanks. I guess they moved it.

I am pretty sure that the MBA players who were recruits spent almost every weekend this summer at one camp or another. I think they also went to some camps in the fall.

 

It is amazing that Connor and Clay have already committed before they even have played any of their junior years. Our best football players dd not know where they were going to college until February of their senior years. They did not get offers until the last week before signing day.
