[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The number of boys each year that use lacrosse to get into a better college than they would have gotten into via just grades is small. In the entire DMV area, it will be less than 2 dozen and some years an even smaller number than that. Unless your kid is starting on a top club team, it is very unlikely your son will be son of those. Not impossible (there are a small number of exceptions), but rare enough that it isn’t a strong angle for college admissions. [/quote]

Parents are the WORST judges of their kids athletic ability.

If your son or daughter is not clearly one of the better players on their high school or club team, it’s highly unlikely they will play meaningful minutes on a college team.

Better players on high school or club teams have outsized statistics. Goals, assists, ground balls, turnovers, saves, etc. are indicators. They have a huge impact on games.

Coaches who want to stock their rosters with kids who can contribute at the college level know this. They are friendly to everyone and encourage application to their schools. But they are interested in those that have the stats, the size, the speed, the toughness and the skills at a superior level. That’s superior not average or slightly above average.

When I listen to parents talk about recruiting, I am surprised at the lack of reality they seem to be embracing. But wanting to believe something is a powerful incentive.[/quote]
