A lot of teams will offer an early look/tryout for girls they’re interested in—could be an early tryout for a few girls in the same situation, could be coming to a practice or if the coach has seen the girl play in enough games that could be enough. Hopefully no coach/club wants girls to be in bad situation of not having a team so they’ll work with families.

Our experience has always been that clubs will extend your time to make a decision if you are attending other tryouts. No clubs wants to force a player to make a decision before they are ready. We were up front with our current club that we wanted our daughter to attend 1 more tryout elsewhere before she made her decision and they were fine with that.

Most current clubs will. New clubs often won't. Their perspective is why did you try out for a new club if you weren't sure you wanted to join.

And clubs like M&D will essentially blackball you if you try out and don't accept...

No one turns down M&D!

My DD turned down M&D, more than once.

The same M&D that basically swept through the A division of NGLL?

Let's just end with this. SJC has a great season, the best season ever for their school. SJC is possibly the best team in the country, and most likely will be ranked #1 at the end of the season.

I must also add, that SJC had an opportunity to play in 2 Post-season tournaments and declined. That is a choice the SJC program made and it does NOT take away from the incredible accomplishment to go 19 - 0.

Local fans and national fans want to see the best lacrosse teams play as much as possible, it's fun to watch, entertaining, and a great experience for the players.

Congratulations to SJC, but as a fan of local lacrosse I wish SJC was able to play more in May.

Wrong thread. SJC may be great, but their parents apparently can't read...

Not true at all. If you are good enough, they will still pursue you

Those are facts no one wants to hear around these parts.

My daughter refuses to tryout or play for M&D. Being friends with a few girls and having played with some she still has no desire to go there.

Great, do you want a prize or something? No one cares. Back to playing for the clown show that is DMV lax with Pride, Stars and Capital.

Yeah … that clown show Capital club. What a joke their 23s were …

- Princeton
- Brown
- Harvard
- Columbia
- Northwestern
- Navy
- UVA (2)
- Michigan (2)
- ECU
- Georgetown
- St. Jo’s (2)
- Colgate
- Hopkins
- VCU
- Richmond
- Pitt

Impressive list. Does anyone have a sense of how many of these girls received scholarship money from these schools (besides of course the service academies)?

[Anonymous]

I’d be interested in this as well if anyone knows?

Suspect a decent number of these girls come from well off families and strong academic private high schools, so getting scholarship money is less important than helping with admissions.

Very few. The great academic schools - none. The next tier down, some, but most who got $ are at the bottom tier schools listed above - ECU, Pitt, St Joes.
