It depends on which ones you do but you really don't need to do them until summer going into sophomore year and they become really important summer going into Jr year, fall Jr year can help, summer goin into sr year and fall sr if still not getting that much recruitment. So for 8th grade summer NLF futures is good if his team isn't playing in the futures tournament. First Class BIC is good for fall and summer. Inside Lacrosse ID fall might involve this years Fr class since the summer one does but that's going into their soph year. Future Phenomes is one also. idk if the new balance and nike regional tryouts have happened in your region yet but could do tryout for those. If he is playing in high level tournaments this weekend he will be good also but just know kids don't get on the radar generally until soph summer but jr summer is the biggest for early recruitment and fall
