When college coaches scout high school club teams they scout the Duke's. That's why, in this year's senior class alone our players will be attending Duke, Johns Hopkins, Penn State, Ohio State and Georgetown along with many other highly ranked programs. Our players have attended Virginia, Johns Hopkins, Maryland, Princeton, Cornell, Notre Dame, and virtually every top program in the country.
Last year alone ten high school All Americans were Duke's players. No other club in Pennsylvania was remotely close. The Duke's program has produced twenty six high school All Americans and six college All Americans.
When decisions are made as to what high school players get invited to America's top college recruiting camps, such as Blue Chip, they consult the Duke's coaches. However our primary mission is to recruit exceptional players who are also exceptional people and students. Being part of the Duke's is being part of a small but exceptional family of lacrosse players and student athletes.
Quite simply, if you are an elite high school freshman player, the club that will maximize your chances to play at a top college program is, and has been for more than a decade the Duke's Lacrosse Club.
