[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here:

I did have ChatGPT help write the original post, but I’m a real person—thanks for your feedback!

I’ve read a lot of threads here, and honestly, I’m still not sure where to start. I understand club lacrosse is a year-round commitment, but I’m hoping to find a program that’s still friendly to second-sport athletes.

Based on what I’ve read and heard, here’s my current understanding:

Pride – Seems expensive, plays in the wrong brackets at tournaments (losing badly), and has some management concerns.
YJ (new NOVA team) – I haven’t seen much feedback on them yet.
True – Also fairly new. Doesn’t appear to attend many tournaments. Some families liked the coaching; others said it was poor. 
STAR – Mostly negative feedback overall.
BLC – It sounds like the Blue team is very competitive. The Orange team might be more our level, but coaching there doesn’t seem to get great reviews.

Please let me know if these are incorrect impressions, or if you have other recommendations.

I know experiences vary a lot depending on the team and coach. Since this would be our first time with club lacrosse, I’m really just trying to find the right fit.[/quote]

Based on your original post I’m not sure club lacrosse is the right fit, especially for a 4th grader. Have her play NVYLL rec and commit to hitting the wall on her own several days per week to build stick skills. This combo alone will make her better than 90% of high school players. Many area high schools struggle to field girls lacrosse teams, so the bar isn’t real high to make even varsity teams. And depending on the high school there is the JV team to start.[/quote]

I just think that rec might be a better fit given that it is a serious time and cost commitment to play club lacrosse.  The cost of all of these clubs is pretty similar, so don't play club unless you're ready for that.[/quote]
