PARENT FILE SHARE
A Starting Point for Parent Conversations
This one-page handout outlines realistic recruiting expectations by grade level and helps families understand when recruiting becomes relevant and when it doesn’t. It’s intended to reduce confusion, comparison, and mixed messaging before communication breaks down.

Coach Connect
When Recruiting Turns Into a Communication Issue
Most recruiting challenges families encounter aren’t about rules or eligibility. They’re about communication who should be reaching out, how silence is interpreted, and how activity is perceived by college coaches.
Coach Connect is LWJ’s one-of-a-kind, communication education system built specifically for that gap, so families don’t have to manage or interpret recruiting communication on their own anymore.
