Ask Nancy Nitardy My club coach says I shouldn't compete on the high school team because it will hurt my chances of being recruited by college coaches. I really want to play high school sports, but I also want to play in college. That's a tough call.
Every athlete is different, and every college coach is different.
You have to make this decision for yourself. College coaches recruit from many different arenas. They will attend state, regional and national competitions to search out their future recruiting classes. They also recruit from their own summer sports camps. College coaches get recommendations from high school, club and other college coaches.
