This is great advice having been through this. Enjoy it while you can. It’s about the kids, not you. Don’t be that parent. Very few players will have the opportunity to play at the highest level in college. Be realistic and support your kid(s) through the journey. I wish I had one more long car ride.

Wait. What? I thought they were a top 5 national team and are coached by the owner of the program. Why would they vanish?

The posters who are chuckling about DCE or NL teams falling short in terms of wins/losses are losing sight of what matters in 9th and 10th grade travel lacrosse. It is INDIVIDUAL performance and showcasing that matters, not whether a team wins or loses. Sure, if a team loses all its games by big scores and generally stinks, then no college coach will go to watch them, and it generally is a bad experience and a waste of your family's time. But college coaches scout these games and could care less who wins the game or the tournament, they want to see the good players. So if your son is on a team that sweeps all its games and the Dads strut around like hot stuff, but your own son rarely gets on the field and/or is playing badly, then you should not be particularly excited about his status. And conversely, if your son is killing it and putting up great numbers, but the team lost game(s) that they coulda, woulda, shoulda won, who cares.
Winning means everything when you are representing your high school (and someday your college) team and helping to bring glory to your school. but bringing glory to DCE, 91, Madlax, or whatever greedy program you son plays for, is not the end game here.
