[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your son is halfway through HS and not yet played in a varsity game, and is projected only to be a backup as a junior, it’s not realistic to expect to play D3 varsity.  He should be choosing a college based on academic and social fit, and play club lacrosse if he wants to continue playing the game beyond high school.  [/quote]

DS was on varsity starting as a freshman and a starter by sophomore year.  He’s also a starter on the top level of his travel team.  We’ve been told NESCACs are out of reach- these are for kids who could play D1.  Looking at the boys and who have gone on to play college lax from our school and club- they were all standout players.  [/quote]

Good thing Pat Spencer didn't listen to this advice. Good grief. I have no idea what the OP's son's talent level is nor whether is academics would qualify. There are certainly some probabilities but coaches and admission offices look at all kinds of things - especially at the DIII level. He could also blossom in his junior year. It certainly is worth having conversations. The OP also never stated what her son wants to do in college. Telling her to look at F&M or Dickinson when the kid wants to go into engineering is a waste of time. They don't have that.

Regardless, it is also almost assuredly worth posting on an anonymous chat board to see what to do if you've never gone through the process. The amount of snobbery/hate on what is a pretty basic question seems overboard.[/quote]
