PARENT EDUCATION SERIES

Athletic recruiting and college admissions operate in parallel—but not always in the way families expect.

​

Our sessions help parents understand where coach influence begins and ends, how academics factor into recruiting decisions, and how student-athletes can position themselves thoughtfully at high academic institutions. These sessions are designed to bring clarity to a process that often feels confusing and overwhelming.

​

Up Next: DI & DIII Recruiting Webinars

​

Morning Session: Building a Strong Foundation

How to Support Academic and Athletic Growth Throughout High School

​

Many families feel pulled between encouraging athletic ambition and preserving strong academic options. The reality is that the two don’t compete, but they do require thoughtful balance over time.

​

In this session, we’ll discuss:

​

  • How colleges evaluate academic growth across all four years

  • How course choices, rigor, and consistency shape long-term options

  • When athletic specialization helps–and when patience is wiser

  • How to support your child’s development and other extracurricular interests without creating unnecessary pressure

  • What keeps academic and athletic pathways open as your child matures
     

Parents leave with a clearer framework for thinking about high school as a whole–not just season to season–so their child can grow steadily, confidently, and keep doors open. This session will be held in the morning on site at camp. 

​

These sessions will be held at the January 2027 Naples, FL Lacrosse Masters boys & girls camps. 

Lunchtime Session: Ivy, NESCAC & Selective College Admissions

A deeper conversation about admission at academically elite institutions (with lunch for you & your athlete)

​

At the most selective colleges, athletic ability can create opportunity, but it always operates within a larger, more comprehensive admissions process. Families often hear about “support,” “bands,” or the Academic Index without fully understanding how those pieces fit together.

​

Academic strength matters… and so do character, intellectual curiosity, integrity, and how a student is perceived within both the classroom and team environments.

​

In this session, we’ll dig deeply into:

  • How highly selective colleges evaluate student-athletes

  • How coach advocacy works within institutional admissions standards

  • What Academic Index ranges and academic “bands” mean in practice

  • How character, fit, and intellectual engagement influence decisions

  • Where families most often overestimate or underestimate competitiveness
     

The goal is not to temper ambition, but to bring clarity to a process that can be confusing so you can aim high with both confidence and perspective. This session will be held at lunchtime on site at camp and will include lunch for you and your athlete. 

​

These sessions will be held at the January 2027 Naples, FL Lacrosse Masters boys & girls camps. 

Afternoon Session: Junior/Senior Year Playbook

A Clear Month-by-Month Plan for the Year Ahead (with behind-the-scenes insights from a former college coach)

​

Junior year is when academic performance and recruiting timelines begin to intersect - especially for NESCAC schools. Held just after the coaches' recruiting talk, this session will focus on the critical academic elements that families tend to overlook. With insights from a former college coach and admissions officer, this conversation will go behind the scenes to illuminate what really matters in the homestretch of this process.

​

In this session, we’ll walk through:

  • What truly carries weight academically during junior & senior year…and what doesn’t

  • How to make smart standardized testing decisions

  • When academic pre-reads typically occur–and how to prepare for them

  • How and when to communicate with coaches thoughtfully and effectively

  • What does it take to get into more selective academic programs if you get the athletic offer
     

Parents leave with a practical understanding of what deserves attention each month–and how to support their student-athlete child through the most important year of high school. This session will be held in the afternoon on site at camp.

​

These sessions will be held at the January 2027 Naples, FL Lacrosse Masters boys & girls camps. 

Work 1:1 with College Masters

Personalized academic and athletic guidance for the student athlete

​

Success as a student athlete requires much more than performing well on the field. The students who create the most opportunities for themselves are intentional about every aspect of their development—from academics and leadership to communication, personal growth, and college planning. 

 

Through our advising program, we help student-athletes develop a strategic plan that aligns their athletic, academic, and personal goals.

 

Together, we'll work on:

  • Highlight film evaluation and recruiting strategy

  • Coach communication, interviews, and recruiting outreach

  • Academic planning, course selection, and extracurricular opportunities

  • Standardized testing timing and preparation

  • Leadership development and personal growth

  • Prospect days, showcases, and tournament planning

  • Building meaningful extracurricular involvement and community impact

  • College research and college list development

  • Essay coaching and application support

 

Our goal is not simply to help students get recruited. It is to help them become stronger candidates, thoughtful leaders, and confident young adults—equipped to thrive in both the college admissions process and the opportunities that follow.
