[quote=Anonymous]As this applies to boys or girls lacrosse I just wanted to know where people align themselves.

Should your kids:

A) Use lacrosse to help them get into the best academic school possible, maybe even a DIII school with high academics?
B) Focus on getting a D1 commitment and scholarship (or more likely a partial scholarship) at the best possible lacrosse program?

Meaning if your son or daughter could use lacrosse to help them get into MIT, since they have lacrosse and are clearly one of the top academic schools in the country I'll use them. But they also got a D1 offer from Maryland to play lacrosse.  Would you sacrifice the opportunity to go to an MIT (or other top tier academic school) for a D1 powerhouse whose academics are still good but not in the same league as an MIT?

Just curious where people are thinking.

I'm a parent that leans towards A above which is why when I see all the craziness about club lacrosse and college commitments I wonder if the same people are posting in math forums and saying "well I heard Mr. Anderson's Calculus class tends to score higher on the SAT than Mrs. Johnson's...."

How about you?[/quote]
