2) Make a list of schools your DD would like to target. We have a Top 5, second 10 and bottom 5. That give you 20 schools to concentrate on.
At the 12u and 14u level how much value is there in playing asa nationals. Do you just to see how you compare? I hear some guys say once your DD is 14 she needs to be on an 18u team. What do yall think about that statement?
My DD's team has played in a couple of showcases, and I would say that the majority of the D1 recruiting is being done at 16U now. There are still coaches recruiting 18U, but they were mostly smaller programs looking for girls who were not already committed. I would NOT recommend jumping from 14U to 18U even if your DD was able to compete at that level.
