| I'm aware of that pp. That's why I mentioned baseball in the DR. |
| If you're aiming to have your DC play lacrosse in college, I can't think of a better milieu to have them - with STA, Landon, and Prep, I think recruiters come from all over the country to look at the lax players at these schools. |
| agree with that pp. It's much harder for boys from public h.s. to be recruited for lax in particular. Some sports it's fine to go public (football + basketball for example) |
Don't the area club teams help public school boys get exposure? |
Standing at LAX practice right now waiting on DD. Looking around... It is def a rich white kid sport and the prep schools dominate. At least in the DMV. |
Yes. Most of the recruiting now in lacrosse (boys and girls) is via the club scene, so talented public school players definitely get exposure for recruiting. As youth lacrosse programs become better established, you'll see an increasing number of this area's strong players come from the public schools. St. Albans lost to one of the local high schools last season, I think (can't recall which one off the top of my head). |
What are the top area club teams? |
| Some of the top local IAC players play for Baltimore-based clubs, Blackwolf Lacrosse and Baltimore Lacrosse Club (the Crabs) both come to mind. |
| On a typical independent school lax team (Landon, Prep, St. Albans), how many boys go on to play college lacrosse? |

|
Landon Varsity Lacrosse has
5 seniors 5 juniors 2 sophmores that have committed to Lacrosse for college (out of 39 players) |
|
Prep has
7 seniors 2 juniors 5 sophomores committed to college lacrosse |
|
St Albans
None |
Wrong. On this year's roster, they have one kid committed to Lehigh and another committed to play at Yale. You clearly know nothing about lacrosse. |

Lax power needed an apostrophe for St. Alban's which is why the Lehigh recruit did not show up.
The other recruit found is a senior committed to Haverford According to Inside Lacrosse, there were no St. Alban's lacrosse recruits for Yale for 2012 or 2013. Now of course it is possible that it has not been posted yet but as of all available information, nothing is listed for the class of 2014. Thanks for being so nice. 2012 Signees YALE Overall, a very solid class with some great athletes. The top dogs look to be a pair of super athletic longpoles in Quinn and Nation. Shane Carr and Mark Glicini, a big scorer from New Jersey that is a Deerfield PG, are standout attackmen. No shortage of talent heading to New Haven next fall. J.W. McGovern, A, St. Ignatius (Calif.)
