Hey folks, Its Alex Renaud from Feenix Gear. Today I have a special post for all of you. I have recently discovered this exceptional website site that is ran by a friend of mine called lacrosserecruits.com
Of course every young lacrosse player has high hopes of one day receiving that phone call or letter in the mail stating that they have been recruited of that they are being looked at. I at one point received a few letters and phone calls on this matter, and I won't lie, one of the most satisfying feelings you can ask for. Now you might ask yourself; Am i good enough? where can i get such exposure? well the guys at lacrosserecruits.com have answered this void with an excellent idea to help all you young lacrosse players become noticed and possibly into some sort of scholarship opportunity.
LacrosseRecruits.com is a tool to connect high school lacrosse players with college coaches. High school student athletes create a profile on LacrosseRecruits.com with all of their academic and athletic information. In addition, they are able to upload unlimited video and edit that video using video editing software built into LacrosseRecruits.com (we are the exclusive partners of Motionbox.com). The software is very easy to use and each of the 250 LacrosseRecruits.com members have been successful using the software. This video is then incorporated into the player's profile. Once the profile is complete, the player selects 6 "Schools of Interest." Each college coach is notified by e mail immediately that their program has been selected as a school of interest and can view the player's profile with a click of a button. Each choice is locked in for a month so a college coach knows the athlete is interested in his program and not just sending letters and video to every college coach possible, as they do now. For a college coach, we created a tool to help them find, track, qualify and communicate with potential recruits. We interviewed 50 college coaches and asked them what frustrated them about the recruiting process. LacrosseRecruits.com was built to combat these problems. If a coach spends all his time looking at recruits that fit his recruiting profile, more student athletes receive the attention they need. We were told by every college coach how frustrating it is to have to speak with 100 recruits to find 10 that are an academic fit for their program. We have had members e-mail us telling us they have received attention for programs they had never thought to consider. When a coach logs in, he has a list of ever player that has chosen his
program as a school of interest. He can then view each profile, add players to his favourites, send a message directly to the player and even request a DVD from the player. Once a player has uploaded his video to LacrosseRecruits.com, he is able to have DVDs printed and sent directly to the college coach who has requested it. To help high school players research different program's needs, each DI, DII, DII and MCLA program has a customizable profile on LacrosseRecruits.com. On this profile, a coach includes information such as which camps and tournaments they plan on attending, what position players they are seeking and even video introducing themselves to potential recruits
or highlights from the past season. In a nutshell, LacrosseRecruits.com is an environment where high school lacrosse players are able to have a portfolio of their academic and athletic accomplishments as a high school student athlete. For a college coach, LacrosseRecruits.com keeps his recruiting efforts organized. If you have any questions or would like a personal tour, please contact us directly. We are very excited about the nationwide growth of lacrosse and want to ensure every high school lacrosse player gets the exposure he deserves. With over 130k boys high school lacrosse players and only 240 DI, DII and DIII lacrosse programs, high school lacrosse players can no longer sit back and wait for the coaches to come to them. The more active a player is, the more successful he will be (as is the case with anything in life).
Thank you to www.LacrosseRecruits.com for not only this information but also for providing our young players with more opportunity.
