Originally posted by Unregistered View PostMine started when she was in the 8th grade by going to local clinics (Harvard & BC). When she was going into her Freshman year we created a list of 10 schools where she "thought" she might be interested in going to school and where her coach thought she might have the ability to play. We spent the freshman and sophomore year getting through about 3/4's of that list by doing campus visits and all of the clinics of the schools that emerged as front runners.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostGlad you wrote that. Exactly what I found when my D attended a college clinic in the spring of her freshman year. It made the whole idea of playing in college more tangible (including the part about focusing on grades).
It's a different than attending that first college clinic, but now going to do this clinic in January: http://www.elitecollegesports.com/so...c-january-2015

I think it would be a great experience for her to understand the skill level and get an understanding of what she needs to work on in the upcoming years.

If a clinic is at a school that your D is genuinely interested in attending, and you want feedback from the coach, do some prep work beforehand. (1) Sign up on the team's online prospect list; (2) Send the coach a letter and resume expressing interest in the team; (3) Call the coach and schedule an on campus meeting and do a campus tour. (With all the NCAA rules people forget that while the coach may not always be able to contact or visit the player, the player can always go to the coach on his/her own campus.)
That way when you show up for the clinic you're not just another face in the crowd. The coach will pay more attention because he knows that you are someone who already has an interest in his program and because it's simply human nature to be curious about people we already know.
