You're a high school lacrosse player
and maybe the best at your school, well we have some news for you. Unless you
are in the top 5%, or elite category, junior college coaches wont come looking
for you.
To get recruited, especially at JUCO level, you have to make it happen. You have
to contact the lacrosse coaches and let them know who you are and what you have
to offer their lacrosse program.
The NJCAA allows 20 scholarships per school for both men and women. These are
full-ride grants but some junior college's offer partial scholarships. Top
athletes of course tend to receive the best offers. There are 26 colleges that
offer lacrosse scholarships for men and 11 colleges for women. Each college can
only offer 20 in total, unlike the NCAA they cannot offer a larger number of
scholarships at a lower percentage.
If you haven't done as well academically as you wanted, a community college can
give you an additional opportunity to improve your GPA, then apply to a
four-year school. Remember, you will be gaining credits while you are improving
your GPA!
JC coaches do not have the larger athletic budgets that NCAA coaches have so they cant actively recruit or hire scouts. A lot of coaches don't allocate all of their lacrosse recruiting budget each year simply because they were not approached by suitable lacrosse players.
