[quote=Anonymous]If you want to be a good player, there is no doubt you have to be on one of the better programs. This gives the player the opportunity to play with and compete against other good players/teams.

However, travel lacrosse is just one piece of the puzzle. What I learned with my second daughter (more motivated than first), you really need to do way more outside of the club if the girl wants to be really good - Division I good. If that's not the girls goal, totally fine, playing only with her travel team will set her up to be a good high school player. However, if the girl has higher aspirations, you do need to consider strength training, agility training, extra lacrosse sessions with someone that knows what  they're talking about, etc. Most travel teams practice once in the fall, maybe twice a week in the Spring then have lulls with no training.

I say this because many think once they are on a "travel" team (many of which are called travel but marginally better than rec. teams - sorry) they think they are on the road to college glory. If your daughter doesn't have a stick in her hand most days of the week, it's hard to compete against the "Blue Bloods" in Maryland and LI that see lacrosse as a way of life. Not trying to sound condescending, just based on daughters experiences and my own observations.
