BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM Girls 2026 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region

Probably should put this in the girls HS lax forum.

Coppermine 26 coach is also the Assistant at MV

And????

That's the reason it was posted in this forum and not the HS forum... it was a response to the previous post.

Not sure the connection still. Someone trying to stir the pot only.

Does anyone know how UA150 selections are made? Is everyone not selected waitlisted?

Someone from Robinson sports reaches out to your club to list players in order to invite. Everyone is then waitlisted if they don’t make it so they can get your money if someone drops out or gets injured.

False.

Players apply and include recommendations from club coaches/school coaches/film. A selection committee reviews everything. Players are chosen. Some are waitlisted. Some are given a flat no. Depending on how many players who were invited accept will depend on if players come off the waitlist. You do not pay unless you come off the waitlist.

They don't have you necessarily rank the players 1-10. But, they do reach out to the coaches and have you rate the girls on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being top tier potential top 5 division 1 player and 1 being d2/d3 mid to lower level player.

They reach out to the club coaches? That seems pretty biased but having club coaches do reccemmndations put them in tough spot.

Kids from the top teams easily get in. They wanna know if you will be a top d1 kid , middle or bottom.
Bottom don’t get in much.

What do you think of teams like U. Of Delaware, Drexel and Temple? There seems to be many middle to lower ranked programs that offer opportunities to play somewhat competitive lacrosse while getting a good education.

What is your question?

Ladies and Gentlemen... here is the secret to all of this with regard to recruiting... it doesnt matter what anyone else thinks about them; it only matters what You and Your Daughter think about them!!!!!

THIS^^^^^^^^^^

Why does All American allow the Gerstell coach to pick a team? His is allowed to put his daughter on there and a Gerstell teammate that aren’t top players and those that are get sent home ! Happened 2 years in a row. I bet she doesn’t get picked for highlight or senior game either when he has no input. These things are so frustrating

Are the teams listed already?

Gerstell middie had a good tryout. You are right about next year, however. At least his club team goalie didn't make it for the third year in a row.

Overall its such poor form to run the tryouts that your child is a part of. The optics are terrible. It puts the kid in a bad situation and there are plenty of people that could observe w/ no skin in the game and maintain integrity. The Hero's dad is as bad. Its surprising that Corrigan allows it.

Shes not a top 50 middie in that class. Does it every year with his daughter. If the other mnd and Heros middies came they would have been cut for her. Shes on team and he picks the other 21 after that.

Those 2 are the main reason many top 26 didn’t come out.

Other than the Gerstell Coach they had no parents evaluating their kids this year, run much better than in years past.

Wow. So the coaches kid and friend, the 2026 Heros coach kid, the 2025 Heros coach kid, and lesson kids. Introducing the 2026 all daddy and mommy ball team. The best part is people paid for this.

I dunno….roster looks pretty good to me.

Where are rosters posted?

agreed. not sure who is missing from the area besides a few middies from the big 3 clubs. maybe 1 defender and 1 or 2 attack that supposedly did not try out, but that won't matter. the american select teams (2, 3 or 4??) will struggle on defense

Agreed. Congrats to those girls, everything else is sour grapes.

Lots of girls who don’t play when it counts

ummm - Drexel finished the regular season rankings at #20. They're not mid or lower ranked.

Good luck to all the players as they enter the summer and first tournament of the season…may the odds be ever in your favor!

It dopesn't matter where the school is ranked - top to bottom. The ONLY thing that should matter is where your daughter wants to go - she can play lacrosse and get an education with lacrosse helping to pay for it.

Tito’s and gummies for all of them !

yes, best wishes to everyone at live love lax

What the heck?

So Live Love Lax is behind us. I have a very disappointed daughter as she has been anticipating to see what coaches would look at her recruiting profile and she got zero notifications. She played well and contributes on her IAAM hs team. She’s on a mid-tier club team so her games don’t attract the same attention as others. She knows this only the first tournament, but she’s been sending her emails to coaches fans getting her film out there. She was excited for this summer, but the reality of now looks has been sobering. I’m worried for her and all the pressure she is under. She is going to attend a few prospect days this summer as well as a showcase so we know she’ll be seen by schools that she is interested in.

For those who have been through this before, how did you help your daughter with the mental aspect of recruiting ? Is it too early to reset expectations?

My suggestion would be deep breaths. First tournament, she emailed the coaches, they came to watch her play, they’re gathering their information, and not all coaches look at sports recruit. I’ve had three kids go through the process, two never got a look on their sports recruit pages but got plenty of offers and ended up at D1 and D3. One got a ton of looks and never got an offer from any of the schools that looked at her profile, but got offers from schools that never pulled up her profile. Don’t rely on the views of your sports recruit page is my advice.

Great advice above. I would also say, feel free to lean on her high school coach for feedback. If she has an idea of some schools she’s interested in, it’s a reasonable expectation for her coach to let her k ow if it’s a stretch, a good target ect. Same w your club coach. Use those resources. My daughter’s coach offered to call the coaches prior to her going to prospect camps to give a recommendation and heads up. Your coach should be willing to advocate. Good luck!

These are the standings for 26’s not 27’s.

Great advise - do not focus on who is looking at your profile and who isnt. Whatever is meant to happen, will happen. Prospects camps are great. My daughter got her offers from schools/coaches that she directly interacted with at camps.
