GET RECRUITED TO PLAY COLLEGE LACROSSE

Are you a high school lacrosse player who wants to compete at the intercollegiate level? If so, it’s vitally important to get your name out there to college coaches and the best way to do this is by creating an online lacrosse recruiting profile. Whether you play for your high school or your club, not every coach can see you. Coaches can only be in one place at one time so the best way to get their attention and get recruited is by maximizing your exposure. Put all of your important information online for coaches to view as well as your highlight video and academic information. Don’t be that athlete that misses out on lacrosse recruiting opportunities because coaches didn’t know who you were.

HOW TO GET A LACROSSE SCHOLARSHIP

The first step towards being recruited and possibly earning an athletic scholarship for lacrosse is figuring out what division level is best for you. Are you looking to play on a top level squad that takes competition very seriously or are you looking to compete at a lower level? Does it matter where the college is located? What majors are offered? There’s many things to consider so we advise that you cast a wide net when you start the recruiting process and see what opportunities are out there. Lacrosse is a growing sport and there are many amazing college lacrosse programs offered throughout the country.
