[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. My son isn't a lacrosse superstar, but he's willing to put in the work. He's applying to schools like GPrep with strong lacrosse programs and great academics.[/quote]

Just a thought: apply to some less-strong lacrosse schools too. It might help if he could be an MVP versus if it was a stretch to make varsity.[/quote]

I agree with this. If you aren't being recruited for the sport (and most kids aren't) colleges don't know or care what league your high school team is in. If you manage to be captain and MVP of your team and win championships in your league, that all goes on the college resume. Beats listing benchwarmer for 4 years on a team that had other kids who were really good.[/quote]

Colleges have told my son they absolutely do not care about high school soccer.  AT ALL.  The 3 kids that committed at our high school this year, never played for our program...and it is very 'winning', but not quality.[/quote]
