If you have a son or daughter who enjoys playing high school lacrosse and has his or her sights set on playing for a college team, you will certainly have an exciting time ahead for you all. To make the most of lacrosse college recruiting, it makes sense to keep some strategies in mind that will help your child to succeed at the goal of earning a scholarship through college lacrosse recruiting.

Become informed early in the process

Those four years of high school go by very rapidly, especially when you and your child are working toward the goal of a college lacrosse recruiting scholarship. There is a standard timeline in place that coaches follow when recruiting lacrosse team members, and you will want to become familiar with that in order to be prepared for every step in the journey.

Parental support during the college lacrosse recruiting process

Parental support and encouragement can go a long way toward a child working hard to learn as much as possible in class as well as out on the playing field. This is important because colleges will be looking at grades as part of the requirements for admission in addition to game skill level.

Parents can also help to make sure that their children are signed up to take college entrance exams, such as the SAT, as early as possible. These tests are also part of the lacrosse college recruiting admission requirements.

Lights, Camera, Action!

Another step you can take to help your child with college lacrosse recruiting is to take video of your son or daughter playing in games. Digital video cameras have come down in price and are quite easy to operate, and the video can be edited on a home personal computer with editing software. If this is not something you are comfortable with, you can ask the high school coaches if they will be taking any video and try to get a copy of that, or you can hire a professional to take care of it for you. This video is an audition piece that can go on your child’s personal webpage, so that coaches who are recruiting lacrosse players can easily look at it.

The impact of hosting the Games in Scotland is potentially greatest for our children and that is why we want school pupils and their teachers across Scotland to share in the anticipation and hopefully, the celebration.

I sincerely hope that children across Scotland, some of whom may themselves be participants at the Commonwealth Games in 2014, will be able to share that experience - and then hopefully join with us as we celebrate.

The Commonwealth Games is an event with the potential to bring enormous benefits to all of us and young people in Dundee are 100 per cent behind Glasgow’s bid.

The commonwealth of the Bahamas is in the West Indies. The country is made up of an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean. This means that it is comprised of a series of islands, which connect to the mainland, thus the pluralized name.The Bahamas was a British colony from 1718 and later became an independent country in 1973, while remaining a part of the Commonwealth of Nations. They retain Queen Elizabeth II as their monarch and still sing God Save the Queen as a national anthem. The main language is English though some speak variants of English, Spanish and Portuguese.

The capital city is Nassau, which is located on the island New Providence, though Andros Island is the largest in the group. The city was a haven for the pirates that sailed the Caribbean, including the famous Blackbeard, and was fought over by several nations, notably Spain and England. The whole region was notorious in legend for pirate activity, and is used as a set for many books and films on the subject.The pirates even disrupted the area’s government at one point by declaring an anarchic ‘Privateer’s Republic’ and ransacking Charlestown, which would later become Nassau. The islands had been through the hands of the Spanish and they had all but destroyed the native population of Arawak Indians. The British stopped a lot of the trouble when they made the islands a British Crown Colony.

The islands are mostly Christian, with a heavy leaning towards the Protestant church, other denominations being present but in minority.
