[quote=Anonymous]Club is the only thing that matters.  Even the private school kids play and get recruited at the high level club tournaments.

[b]As a parent the most important thing you can do is to encourage your son/daughter to pick a school they would want to attend without lacrosse.[/b]  My son ended up playing at a mid-level D1 and the level of commitment and time is much greater than I could have imagined.  If your child is a STEM major it will be very difficult.  During the recruiting process most coaches are upfront about this and we even had some coaches tell us they didn’t want engineering students.

On a positive note being a recruit made the admission process very easy and if you are a good student most schools will go out of their way to provide academic aid to recruited athletes.  My son ended up quitting lacrosse after two years even after playing in every game as a freshman and sophomore so he could focus on school.  He lost his lacrosse scholarship but he kept his academic scholarship which was much much more.  Even without lacrosse he loved the school and ended up getting an engineering degree and a great job upon graduation.
