Agree. Confused by the reaction here. Why wouldn’t those with means put those resources to work helping their kids attend the best academic schools they can to secure their futures?[/quote]

Of course you would. The point is if you can’t afford the school, you are not going.

But this is about lacrosse and no reasonable person is going to argue that VA has anywhere near the talent at any ‘28 that M&D, Coppermine and Hero’s have. An all star team of the MD team at ‘28 would wipe the floor with the VA kids.  So, we’ll see how ‘28 does. My bet is the MD kids will be just fine. [/quote]

It is about lacrosse, a game many players use to put them on a flight path to attend a great academic school which will set them up for the rest of their lives. To deny this is to misunderstand the very reason why so many play the sport.[/quote]

That is one reason but for you, it is the only reason. You likely make the game joyless for your 8th grader with your relentless emphasis on college recruiting. Get them to love the game first for the joy of playing and if she has talent, she’ll be fine. The top talent at ‘28 (for the country) is clearly in MD. [/quote]

If you believe I’m pushing your stated view on my DD, you’re doing the same thing by pushing the rank-is-everything / we’re-better-than-you-at-lacrosse mantra on yours. To this end, should we assume the incessant narrative you push should be held to a higher standard than being a supportive parent, helping them through wins (and yes losses), championing their work in the classroom, encouraging them to be goal-oriented beyond the field, and being selfless in providing every resource we as parents have to set them up for lifelong success? Or is being number one, or three, or five more important than these virtues? [/quote]
