I have a kid in a different D1 sport. They played the first 8 games of the season freshman year, then was inextricably benched the rest of the season. No explanation, nothing. It's horrible To say "so what," means you truly don't understand what these players give up in college to be on these teams. To give up all that and not play is almost pointless. In my kids case, they had a great sophomore season. We'll see what happens next. But not playing at all is pretty pointless. And the fact is, many of these Capital players do not play. It's great that there are a few here and there, but the majority are not. That's just a fact.
I understand it can be frustrating but you picked the school first right? Meaning you didn't just go to the school for lacrosse. If you used it as a means to egt into a school you may have had difficulty getting into without then I think your kid would still be thankful to be there and apart of the team regardless of playing time.
