So for incoming D3 players, what portion of the effort to find a team for his rising Freshman year is up to the kid, vs. the college coach vs. the parent?
Do you mean the summer between HS and college? Very few college leagues allow rising freshmen to play, D3 or otherwise. I know a couple do, but not many. Most rising freshmen play 18U travel ball

Yes.

There's a summer league in our area (norcal) that allows two rising frosh per team. The guys on the team we followed this summer are both D1 studs; that roster would be difficult to crack. A lot of the guys going into JC and D2 play for the local Connie Mack team, but my kid did that this summer, and I don't think either of us would opt for that again. There's a local men's team that's very competitive - they play college teams and do ok against them. That might be his best option.
