RECRUITING SUPPORT:
The recruiting process is a tricky one with many twists and turns. At DLC, we are here for you every step of the way as part of your membership. We do not take responsibility for doing the work for our players, nor can we guarantee a scholarship, but we guide them along as they pursue their dream of playing in college. In as much as the player and her family want to access our staff for guidance and support, we will be available. DLC conducts a recruiting seminar each year for its players.
EXPECTATIONS:
What you should expect from DLC is commitment, competence, professionalism as well as a laughter and fun. We will be honest – no matter what.
What we expect from you is that you let us do our job:
• Make each player better • Manage expectations • Determine who should be on what team • Support each girl in her OWN process of one day playing in college if that is her goal.
Our core values are respect, responsibility, commitment and having fun. All members can expect the DLC staff to represent and live up to these values to the best of our abilities and we will expect the same from them.
