Nervous Goalie Recruit

You can feel free to get rid of this, it's irrelevant now.

i doubt that coaches at the d1 level will treat a goalie recruit much differently, but what you can do is email the coach, call them if they gave you their number, and just keep playing this summer. summer isnt over yet and coaches are still out of office recruiting till the end of summer. in late august and early september they will come together as a coaching staff and evauate on who they are interested in. if they really like you they will contact you soon or even talk to you at the tourney but dont get worried quite yet. there is still all of august, if you havent heard anything by september thats when it will be hard.

Did you contact the schools you were interested in before the summer tournaments? With all your accolades I have to say I'm shocked that you haven't generated more interest. But, it's rare for coaches to stumble upon a player. You usually have to express an interest in them, and they will take a look at you in return. I'm assuming you already did that? It couldn't hurt to go ahead and call your top choices and see where you stand with them. It is getting late in the process; many kids have already committed or are planning their official visits. There are fall tournaments, though, so you might want to think about really working on contacting coaches, telling them about yourself, and convincing them to check you out this fall.

No, coaches don't really treat goalie recruits differently, however, usually you have to be the right year for the program. Most coaches don't want 4 goalies for their program, so sometimes you can just be SOL just because you're graduating in the wrong year. I have your problem to some extent, although some coaches have been contacting me so I do have some options that I am seriously considering. Basically, do what laxstar003 said. I would take the time to go out and now call your top choices. Most of the top D1 schools have their recruits picked, but there is definitely still time for other schools; there's always a few late looks. Anyways, just try to get your name out, it seems like you should be playing at a decent program, but make sure you are also a fit for the school in places like academics. You could just be me where coaches are starting to realize that I have "flown under the radar" and they just don't know you're out there, or they may simply not want you. The best thing I think you can do is find out where you are to your top schools, after that decide if you need to attend some fall tournaments or pursue some other schools.
