[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please also remember that "play" is a loaded term. The NESCACs and other high-level D3 lacrosse programs carry approximately 50-55 guys on the roster...no matter the academic profile. A minority of the team gets in >10 games. In some cases, not all of the guys travel to overnight away games. [b]If the team makes it to the NCAA tourney, only 32 guys get patches on their uniform indicating they are eligible to play, 10 more can be dressed on the sideline, and everyone else has to be in team "street gear" (polos and shorts).[/b] Be sure to ask your son to think about how he wants to fit in on the team. Is it enough to be a part of the scout team and possibly not travel?[/quote]

Last month we went to the Georgetown vs PSU game (the game in the championship bracket) and I noticed a bunch of young men on the sidelines dressed in street clothes, and I couldn't understand who they were and what their job was. Were they these guys - who were, so to speak, surplus players?[/quote]

Yes. They were likely injured players or players that didn't make the cut to be in uniform. I believe D1 gets more patched players and non-patched than D3, but definitely not everyone gets to be in uniform. The numbers I cited were for D3. FWIW, this year was better for D3 because it used to be that the non-dressed players had to be in the stands. So tough for those guys.[/quote]
