In this clip, Dave Webster of Dickinson College discusses the challenge families face when trying to understand what level of college lacrosse is the right fit for their player.
Key takeaways include:
- Recognizing that many families may not have a clear sense of where their player fits
- Understanding the skill level and competitiveness of Division III lacrosse
- Encouraging families to watch high-level Division III games
- Using game experiences to help set realistic expectations around recruiting
For families navigating the recruiting process, understanding where a player fits can be difficult without firsthand experience. Webster encourages parents and recruits to watch high-level Division III games to get a better feel for the skill and athleticism at that level. Seeing the game in person can give families a clearer perspective and help them make more informed decisions throughout the recruiting process.
