Getting Recruited From the MIAA

[laxmatt797]

Hey I play lacrosse for a highschool in the MIAA (maryland). I am a sophmore and will be starting on jv this year. How would you guys recomend going about getting some coaches interested in me?

[dcblax18]

well all i know is u should be fine cuz the MIAA is damn good. who u play 4? a or b?

just be really nasty at lax. coaches already watch miaa games because of the number of sick kids the miaa puts out. but put together a highlight tape too. email coaches at schools you might be interested in

[laxmatt797]

Severn which is A
and i play D if that makes any diffrence

never make highlight tapes coaches don't want to see it they want full games also summer teams/camps are EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for exposure because you are more likely to be seen in a big tournament than at one of your games.

[laxmatt797]

which camps would be good to go to?

[mdlaxman]

you can make a highlight tape of a couple games lol it doesnt have to be all little clips

hey man i was in almost the exact same situation.
I play for an A confrence MIAA school and as a sophomore started on defense
basically you need to go to some big recruiting camps like Champ Camp or Gait Cup and e mail some coaches before hand and let them know you will be at that tournement and introduce your self through the email. they cant talk to you at the tourney so dont worry if they ignore you in person, but it works its what i did and I am getting recruited by a bunch of DI teams

[laxmatt797]

alright 2iLAX thanks for the help
any one else have any other sugestions

[laxmj1992]

Wait until next year. You probably won't be getting recruited playing for JV. Also, Severn isn't one of the better MIAA teams, (I shouldn't be one to talk, I play for the worst MIAA A team) so you will most likely have to be playing varsity to get recruited.

I would say dont be on JV as a sophomore. If your going elite D1 your not on JV, especially as a sophomore...

Edit: disregard this post

get on berecruited.com... that's one reason why i'm even playing college lax outside of U of I...

[Warriorlax02]

how do you get recruited from be recruited.. i have tons of potential to play in college whether it be a low d1 to d3, but i really don't know how i can advertise myself...

[laxmatt797]

dude hands down MIAA is sick. I have heard coaches say that they would rather choose a second line player than a player from most other places. If you get good playing time this year, progress and if you get some film of yourself then you be just fine. Also get yourself to some summer tournaments, and camps.

[laxlerker]

Get on a good summer club team. Many clubs have college asst coaches helping out. If they're impressed with your skills and attitude they will help you get to the school/coach that fits your ability. These coaches all know one another.

Also, starting jv as a sophmore in the MIAA-A is great. Unlike other leagues, talent is so deep in this conference even the best players have to wait their turn. These coaches are bringing in(recruiting) athletes non stop.

if u get yourself to a lot of camps and practice/wallball alot there most likely is a shot to play college
