There are several ways to get video footage of yourself suitable for college lacrosse recruiting purposes. Your high school coaches often tape your games, and use them to review plays and teach new skills. You can ask them to share some of the footage that they have shot. Another way is to have your parents or parents’ friends shoot games or your play at lacrosse recruiting camps. Your parents are often in attendance at your games, and so they may be willing to tape them for you. Digital video cameras are coming down in price and can be purchased or borrowed for such activities.

There are a variety lacrosse college recruiting camps held all over the United States. Which you decide to attend will be based on several factors, which can include the size of the camp, the coaching staff that will be there, and if an invitation has been extended. No matter which you end up attending, you will learn a great deal about both improving your lacrosse playing skills as well as the lacrosse college recruiting process.

A lacrosse recruiting camp can vary in size and location. This is important to keep in mind, because it may have a bearing on which camps you decide to attend. Many camps are held in the Eastern United States. If you live in that area, it will be easier to attend more college lacrosse recruiting camps because you have fewer miles to travel to get there. If you live on the West Coast, however, you may have to be more selective about which camps you elect to attend because of the amount of travel involved in attending any of the college lacrosse recruiting camps.

A college lacrosse recruiting event such as a camp can also vary in terms of the number of participants. If you are one of five hundred players out on the fields on any given day, it is going to be much more difficult to be seen by coaching staff than if you attend a lacrosse recruiting camp that limits the numbers of participants. Of course, by limiting the number of players a lacrosse recruiting camp becomes more competitive for admittance, so this is another factor to weigh when you are considering which lacrosse recruiting camp to attend.

A college lacrosse recruiting tournament or camp could be limited to a certain academic level group. You will find a lacrosse recruiting camp especially for sophomores, another for juniors, and still many others for seniors. Camps for sophomores and juniors usually place a greater emphasis on coaching and training, and this is an excellent way to find out what lacrosse college recruiting staff are looking for in potential new team players.

You might choose to attend a lacrosse recruiting camp based on the coaches that will be there. If you have narrowed down your college list to the top five where you would like to attend, then you can focus your effort of attending college lacrosse recruiting events on those college campuses that offer them, and the tournaments or camps where college coaches and scouts from your preferred schools will be.

Being selective about which lacrosse camps you attend can help you focus your efforts on the events that will best help you get seen by the coaches from the schools you want to attend.

If you are a student or the parent of a student who wants to play college lacrosse, you will likely be looking for funding. Lacrosse scholarships allow many students to attend college while playing their favorite sport. Lacrosse college recruiting scouts have many athletes from which to select the best for their college teams. Each school has several requirements for applying for a sports scholarship, but one of them will be consistent for all colleges and universities, and that is submitting a lacrosse recruiting video. There are several ways to get the lacrosse recruiting video portion of your application accomplished, and make it so it grabs the attention of lacrosse college recruiting staff.

The first consideration is to not wait until the last minute to get the video shot. The more footage a video editor has to work with, the better your final lacrosse recruiting video will be. Your high school coaching staff will be taping all of your games, so ask them if they can give you footage they have taped. Parents can borrow or buy a camera to tape you during games, as well as at lacrosse recruiting camp and lacrosse recruiting tournaments. Sometimes high schools have athletics booster clubs that own a camera, which you may be able to borrow for taping purposes. You can also check into local film schools or community colleges that offer film classes. They may allow for camera and film equipment rental.

You will want several types of shots in order to end up with a great looking lacrosse recruiting video. At both the beginning and end of the video, make sure there is a clear picture of your jersey number, team information and which position you play, along with your name and contact information. You will also want to include an entire game, along with a selection of game highlights. Lacrosse recruiting coaches will want to see both in order to evaluate you out on the field.

Footage can also be shot when you participate in lacrosse recruiting camp and lacrosse recruiting tournaments. However, it is preferable to send your lacrosse recruiting video to your prospective college’s scouts prior to play in a tournament. This gives lacrosse college recruiting staff an opportunity to watch your video, and then they will hopefully be on the lookout for you when you play.

Although you can spend a great deal of money on video editing, you need not. Film schools have student editors who can work for lower cost and who are quite proficient in Final Cut, a film editing software which can be used on an ordinary pc to achieve professional results. You will need to let your editor know exactly what you need from the video, so he or she can edit appropriately.

Having a great video is a wonderful tool to make a good impression on lacrosse college recruiting scouts.
