Why Register?
A LacrosseRecruits.com profile significantly increases a player’s odds of being recruited by giving a college coach all the information he needs about the player in one professional profile. To find recruits, a college coach runs advanced searches to find the players who fit his recruiting profile. The coach is then able to keep his recruits organized and watch player submitted game video using the suite of tools available to him with his LacrosseRecruits.com membership.
Every LacrosseRecruits.com member is also provided with a personal homepage to include in all correspondence with college coaches. Chris Hines, for instance, has the personal webpage:
http://www.lacrosserecruits.com/chris_hines.
This gives a coach access to video and a complete profile right away. Instead of just being another e mail or another letter, the coach can see your video and your profile right away.
The growth of lacrosse has made college recruiting more competitive than ever. No longer can coaching staffs adequately evaluate the wealth of lacrosse players nationally by attending a handful of camps. Talent is everywhere. Time and recruiting budgets are limited.
In building LacrosseRecruits.com, 50 college coaches were interviewed and asked what they needed to make it easier for a college coach to find, evaluate, track, communicate with and recruit high school lacrosse players. LacrosseRecruits.com is a tool made specifically for high school players and the college coaches who want to recruit them.
We guarantee this application will make the recruiting process as efficient as possible and will increase your odds of being recruited. If you are not 100% satisfied with our tools, we will refund your membership.
Create a profile and get the exposure you need.
Features For Players
The Lacrosse Common Application Gives A Coach Everything He Needs-
The information on your profile page will include all of the fields on a standard college athletic questionnaire such as name, high school, position, lacrosse accolades, future camp attendance, travel teams, GPA, SAT scores, etc. This profile page will function in the same way that the common application has served perspective college students. You only need to fill out the information once and every coach can see it! You can even send a link of your page to coaches for easy viewing. This is the most professional presentation of the athlete's athletic and academic accomplishments.
Learn What Coaches Want-
By visiting a college's customized profile on LacrosseRecruits.com, you can learn more about the specific needs of the coach, such as what type of players he is losing to graduation or position players he is seeking in his current recruiting class. The coach will also have the opportunity to provide video introducing himself and his program to the recruit.
Indicate Your Schools of Interest and College Coaches Take Notice-
The most important feature for you is the ability to create a “schools of interest” list. You can choose six schools that you are particularly interested in attending. Each coach will be alerted of your interest. Traditionally, coaches have a hard time gauging a players interest, but this tool allows the athlete to show that he is interested! This feature is one of many that sets LacrosseRecruits.com apart.
Cutting Edge Video Editing/Sharing Software-
Using licensed video editing/sharing technology from Motionbox, LacrosseRecruits.com offers software that makes it easy for you to upload game video, label it, and edit the highlights. As your season and high school career progresses, LacrosseRecruits.com will be the place to upload and update your latest highlights. There is no limit on the amount of video you may upload. You are even able to download your highlights onto your iPod to share with friends and family!
Send DVDs to Coaches-
If a college coach would like to see an entire game, the player can upload that game to LacrosseRecruits.com, have the game burned to a DVD and sent directly to the coach. This eliminates the inconvenience involved in DVD printing and allows the college coach to have the game in his hands as quickly as possible.
Features For Coaches
For the coach, LacrosseRecruits.com provides a tool to identify, qualify, track, and recruit high school lacrosse players. The features of the site have come from hours of conversations with coaches from around the country. If there is a feature you would like to see, please contact us as this site is here to make your life easier!
The more time you spend recruiting players that fit your program, the better your program will be.
LacrosseRecruits.com is a national database that will help you identify players from outside your traditional recruiting area who fit your profile.
You Can Search, But You Will Love Sorting-
If a coach wants to search for players from a certain high school, LacrosseRecruits.com will enable them to do this. We have been told it would be a coach’s dream to have the ability to search and sort the lacrosse landscape for all available players that meet their specific criteria. For example, if a coach is looking for a player with a GPA above 3.0, or minimum SAT score, he can filter his results to show only those players that qualify. The search and sort functions on this site will be extremely flexible to enable each coach to find the players that fit his specific needs. Traditionally, coaches spend a lot of time recruiting players that in the end do not fit into their program. This feature is here to pre qualify potential recruits.
A coach will also have the ability to perform advanced searches and sort every player on the site. The coach might only consider players who have expressed interest in their program, or only those players on their favorites list. For example, if a coach plans to attend Top 205 (an elite summer recruiting camp), he could search the list of athletes attending the camp who are interested in their program, then narrow down the search to only the athletes who play the positions he is seeking to fill, and then finally, the players who have standardized test scores suitable for admission.
My Recruits Keeps You Organized-
When you log into LacrosseRecruits.com, you will have a list of every player that has selected your program as a "School of Interest." This gives you added incentive to contact these players as you know the recruit is already thinking about your program.
If you find a player on the site you are interested in, you are able to add him to your favorties list. My Recruits will be your first stop to track your recruits.
To merge these lists with other recruting lists you have, you are able to export players information to an excel document with the click of a button.
Messaging Made Easy-
If a coach wishes to send a message to a player, this option will be available. Instead of having to manage an e-mail inbox that has e-mails not only from recruits but junk mail, e-mails from the university, personal e mail, etc, the coach will be able to see all contact they have had with each recruit. Getting in touch with recruits these days is hard enough and this feature will make the process easier.
Tracking Your Target-
Not only will all messages between the two be shown on the players profile page, but there will also be an area where coaches will have the ability to add notes and comments from phone conversations, campus visits and recruiting trips. A reminder system will be put in place to ensure the coach follows up with each recruit.
For Parents
Your Time is Valuable-
By using our tool you will save a lot of time finding the best fit for your child. The recruiting process can be very stressful and LacrosseRecruits.com is here to help. We went through the recruiting process and know the stress associated with it.
Marketing Your Child Isn’t Easy-
The recruiting process requires parents, high school coaches and the player himself to market his abilities as a student-athlete. Marketing your child as a student-athlete entails completing numerous questionnaires, creating and sending highlight tapes, and going to several recruiting camps, all in hopes of being noticed by a college coach. LacrosseRecruits.com streamlines all of this and presents the student-athlete in a most professional manner. Finding the best fit for your child can be a daunting task. LacrosseRecruits.com can simplify this process.
