[quote=Anonymous]Drop it especially if she wants to play travel lacrosse (this is coming from a travel softball parent)… but that being said make sure it is not the team rather then the sport.  Travel softball is a huge time (and cost) commitment in high school.  I would have never wanted to do it if my kid did not love the sport.  Also if your kid is going to switch sports it is better to do it now.  My child is a strong athlete but did not start travel until 9th grade.  She had to work harder as she had less experience and all of the other kids had played travel.  Luckily she was there because she loved it but it was hard coming in that late and if she had not had a few things going for her might have struggled to find a team.  We did have to look around to find one and as she developed as a player we moved on from the initial team (she ended up being recruited and received a number of high academic D3 offers) but really only grew into herself as a player in Spring of 11th grade (which is ok for high academic schools that want Junior grades and test scores).[/quote]
