[quote=Anonymous]I may be wrong but I don't think most kids in lax are looking at a career in lax or sports in the future.  We have 3 kids heavily engaged in lax as their primary sports with other sports as their secondaries, 1 kid with lax as a secondary sport and another sport as the primary, and 1 kid still biting ankles so it is way too soon to tell.

Our kids participate in rec and club sports because they thrive on the athleticism, the camaraderie, the fun and the competition.

If your daughter is interested in the club team then I would allow her to pursue it [i]as long as[/i] you are confident that you are willing to spend the money.  Not only are the up-front costs for club teams significant but the hidden costs of time and road trips far outweigh the up-front money.  IMO you need to be able to spend it with out holding it out as a stick over you kid's head ("I just spent $xxx and you didn't even make a goal" type of thing) because that behavior drives the fun right out of the sport for the kid.

Otherwise, maybe keep her in the rec sport and then perhaps encourage her to add an additional sport?  Most of the lax players (rec only or both rec & club) we know do have more than one sport.[/quote]
