Recruiting Process
As a member of a college staff for four years I’m always willing to discuss and help players who are looking to continue their playing career at the next level.
Jeffery Fedor
It is very important to note that not all college teams recruit the same way. Division I, for example, starts their recruiting process VERY early in a players development and tends to start preliminary discussions with these highly talented players entering into their Sophomore season. Division II and Division III tend to start their process as a player enters into their Junior season. Again, recruiting practices vary greatly from program to program. What is incredibly important is that as a player, you truly hold a lot of power when it comes to recruitment and the path that could lead to you joining a college team!
If you are entering into your Senior season and have not been contacted by way of college recruitment you may feel that the dream is over. IT IS NOT! The best thing you can do as a player is to visit the lacrosse website from schools that you are considering and fill out their player profile / questionnaire. These go directly to the coaching staff and notify the staff of your interest.
Each recruiting process is slightly different. Please contact Coach Fedor directly if you’d like to have an assessment of what recruiting path best fits your specific needs.
From here a member of the staff will more often than not get in contact with you and personally discuss with you your interest, player statistics, and your future at the college or university. I always find myself telling players and parents that the best thing to do when taking recruiting into your own hands is this. Find a handful of schools that you are truly interested in and make sure that they have your intended major. Reach out to those schools to show your interest and see what you hear back. From there, it’s up to you!
Lastly, and most importantly, please make sure to fully understand that playing lacrosse at any level while currently attending school makes you a STUDENT-athlete. This is incredidbly important to understand. You are a student first, and an athlete second. That being said, if you find a school you truly enjoy, and feel you can make it into your home for the next couple of years but the program isn’t 100% up to your liking…that’s okay! Lacrosse is a piece of the puzzle to your college experience and should never be the ONLY reason you decide upon a place to continue your education and playing career.
