[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be honest with yourself and have your daughter to do the same about what you really want out of lax.  Travel lax is fun and a great way to be make great and lasting friendships.  Travel lax is also a requirement if you want to play at a competitive high school.  That said,  here is the way is typically breaks down:

Cap Blue-- 90% to D1, 10% to D3
Cap Orange -- 10% to DI; 70% to D2/D3 or Opt Out
Stars -  15% to D3
MD DC -- TBD but probably similar to YJ
YJ--25% to D1

Not sure if this helps, but depending on you and your daughters goals, you can plan accordingly.  [/quote]

This is a YJ ad.

Every year, momentum builds behind one team and it's seems like that team is where everyone wants to end up. It was Pride for the 26, Stars for the 27s, Pride again for 28s and last M&DDC.

Try and figure out where there flock is headed. [/quote]

This isnt a YJ ad and, in reality, no one really cares about those clubs or even where the kids end up.  For the most part, but not all its bottom DI, and the kids would probably be better off not playing lax.   Sorry if the truth hurts.  [/quote]

I think their parents care, and those girls care... And I don't think they are looking for your approval.

Not everyone is going to play top D1 and not everyone is going to Ivy League and many many kids and families do just fine at a normal college playing a sport they love. I know this is crazy but some of these kids actually love the sport and their parents are supporting their child, and are not doing it to climb a social or economic ladder. The experience of going to school and playing lacrosse for George Mason, American and other "bottom D1s" can still be pretty great.

You have to love the response to the OP question of "what is the next best option?" is "Just give up. Stop playing. You suck." [/quote]
