    How much responsibility does a high school coach have in the recruiting process now?

    It's not on either the high school coach or the travel coach if you depend on them you'll be waiting a long time. It's on the player and family via emails & camps. The high school coach is a good character reference and it is the job of the travel coach to put your kid in the position to get...

    Question on showcases and attending coaches.

    Instead of waiting for lists of what schools will be attending your daughter should have her own list of schools and email them weekly, that starts with an introduction email on who she is, what school she attends - grades, position and why she wants to attend that school. then weekly emails...

    PGF vs Alliance (provocative but sincere questions)

    Alliance has deep pockets and isn't going anywhere anytime soon, this more or less comes down to what region you're based out of. A majority of PGF births have been given out early, and this is there way to fight Alliance, is auto bids. they will state the past performance as the reason for...

    End of fall

    That's amazing your daughter did well. In my experience though showcase records mean little. Orgs will pound there chest with showcase records for advertising purposes.

    It's not what you know, it's WHO the coaches know.

    Alliance vs. PGF???

    NB Gold won a lot of top tournaments this year. Congratulations to them!! I believe Top Club Nationals were the only one they didn’t win.

    Alliance vs. PGF???

    But both of her sons were at Alliance. I’m sure most college staffs split duties.

    Recruiting manager?

    daughter used sports recruits which is good for her to be able to see who is viewing her profile along with easy to email out of, but all of her reponses have been when she was sending email from her regular email account she created.
