I agree that coaches should not actively recruit, they do not need to , the kids will reach out to the coaches themselves . In this day of social media , the kids know what’s happening at other schools . They know how much work/effort is being put in by either the coaching staff or who shows up for weight lifting . My son is friends and works out with kids that play at different schools in the area . He knows how much effort these other players and coaches are putting into the program .They talk (should say text) and they listen .
