Truth is there are now so many non-club opportunities to be seen that what club you play for is becoming irrelevant. Also lots of college coaches have told us they don't trust the club coach opinions because of the money connection and the marketing of the recruits that the clubs put on the websites. They trust the school coaches much more. My son was recruited by going to a prospect day that we found ourselves and the club had nothing to do with him getting an offer. In fact they didn't even call the club. Film and his school coach were the only other backup he needed. We saved a boatload not doing the high profile club thing. So, save your money.
