Question for those parents with daughters at the younger end of the birth year.........When they start doing showcases at U15 (but are still in 8th grade), how does that work with the recruiting process? From what I understand, players should be doing outreach to coaches of colleges they're interested in around the time they start showcase tournaments, but does that really start in 8th grade? New to all this so maybe it's a dumb question.

Yes, there are outliers being looked at and recruited at U13/14, but those tend to be NT caliber prospects.They get lots of media attention, but are not the norm.

Originally posted by UnregisteredI've been in a few (free) seminars about this so the advice is probably worth what I paid. Everything I've heard is that for girls, U16 is the prime time for showcasing/recruitment. U15 they should be compiling lists of colleges they are interested in attending and beginning the process of reaching out, but you're unlikely to get much attention at U15 as most coaches are too busy looking at U16's.

Coaches are allowed to communicate with a player before their junior year if 1. The player calls them up on the phone and actually reaches the coach at school. 2. The player visits the school in-person. Most of the coaches doing early recruiting are getting around the rules by communicating through the club and the above 2 work-arounds. Also, the early offers are not binding, as nothing is legal until the NLI is signed senior year.

It begins on Thursday. All the awkwardly complicated stuff begins on Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays.

Originally posted by UnregisteredNot for nothing, but college coaches are already banned from making contact with any player before their Junior year. The recruiting and contact that is happening before then is either the player reaching out to the coach and/or the coach reaching out to the club to have the player contact them.

Please parents, educate yourself about how the recruiting process works. The prior couple of posts are the idle musings of a person who doesn’t know the first thing about the subject and you are stupid enough to believe any of it your kid will end up with nothing but D3 options. Bottom line is you are asking when recruiting starts you are already too late.

dont forget that the guys who named it a "college showcase' for U15/u16 players are all the tournament organizers (aka the club owners) who prefer that our money be in their wallet --- and we gladly fork it over

Since recruiting is a waterfall process the timeline is actually dictated by when the very best players in the graduation year start getting looked at. Currently on the girls side that is in the 7th grade. That’s not to say everyone starts getting looked at then but it is certainly well before the Junior year that the clown earlier was trying put forward. The average kid is now actively invoked in the recruiting game at the start of their freshman year.
