| At this point, you should be getting your name out there to colleges you may be interested in, in the future.
Send a letter of interest, along with your player profile, to college coaches and invite them to come watch you play. This is where playing
on a U-18 team like the Eclipse may be an advantage. Coaches can see every grade level on our team. In the process of watching our upperclassmen,
they can get an early look at you too. |
