18U Team Information

2012 Ruffnecks College Prospect Team

The 18U Ruffnecks program is designed primarily for rising seniors identified as likely college-bound prospects. This is a team-oriented competitive program. It is high exposure and high intensity. If you perform successfully in the context of this team you will most likely be seen by college recruiters. We do not claim to be exclusively a D-I college prospect team. Neither do we offer claims that we can get players a college scholarship. We work hard and honestly with each rising prospect to be his advocate, and to advise him with regard to his college aspirations. We have many very solid players who matriculate to outstanding D-II and D-III programs.

This is an every-day program mid-June through the beginning of August. Our travel schedule is intensive with virtually all weekends booked with activity.  Mid-week games are scheduled in the New England region when the team is not on the road.  Players are expected to travel with their teammates on team provided transportation to all tournaments that are out of state.  We expect players to be fully committed to their team and the schedule.  Departures for showcases or college prospect camps is frowned upon during the Ruffnecks season.  There are ample opportunities to attend showcases or college camps in August after the season is over.  During the summer of 2012, the 18U College Prospect Roster will be comprised of high school varsity-level players, most of whom are members of the graduating class of 2013. Professional scouts help coach during the winter workouts. While we have enjoyed several professional signings from our ranks, this is a college development program first and foremost.
