[quote=Anonymous]I played lacrosse in college and recently graduated from an ACC school and played at a local private school power.

Lacrosse is really not that sweet after high school and trust me, when it is all said and done, you might get a $3K - $5K type scholarship each year.

Don't get me wrong, I played because I loved the sport but more importantly, I met a bunch of nice guys who I will be friends with for life.

If you are some crazy lax mom or dad who thinks just because your son has made a verbal to a program as freshman or sophomore, you are in for a rude awakening when get onto college campus.

Even though, I'm a recent graduate, the number of kids who made  EARLY VERBALS in my generation (during Thanksgiving of your Junior Year.... which now I have been told is very late as some of the college coaches have now pushed it up even further) several of them NEVER even saw the field in college or some of them couldn't deal with the adversity and QUIT.

You will soon realize, especially at the Big Ten and ACC Schools, Hopkins and Notre Dame etc.etc the roster sizes are HECK of a lot bigger than what they post on their website. When you have 50 - 60 kids at a practice, you seen realize, you might have been the CLUB SUPER STAR with the Crabs or Mad Lax or made the WashingtonPost ALL MET team, it will not equate to success at the college level.

Parents - just let your kids play the sport, hopefully their head coach will instill good morals and teach them life lessons on and off the field. Don't buy into the CLUB LACROSSE HYSTERIA. If you are a stud athlete, they will find you.
