[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tried to add up all the expenses incurred leading up to recruitment (club costs, travel costs, showcase costs, film costs, etc, etc).  I gave up in part because I did not want to know the actual amount - let's just say easily more than a single year's tuition at even the most expensive private college.

Worth it?

Lemmee, see, he gained admission to a school that would otherwise have thrown him immediately into the reject pile, being on the lacrosse team made transition into college so easy, he stayed fit throughout college, he got to play the game he loved for 4 years at a high level, he made life-long friends, he landed his first real internship due to a lax alum, and that first real internship lead to a real job.

Worth it?

This...  +1.  I think it can get lost in the chase for a D1 slot that most of these kids love the sport, love their teammates, love the culture and rhythm of a team.  Having that in college, at D3 level, where its maybe a 20 hour vs 40 hour a week commitment, with options to study abroad, take chemistry labs that meet on practice days, etc, is an awesome balance.  Getting the chance to stretch into a school that might not have admitted the player otherwise is huge.  As the PP says: "Ya damn right."[/quote]
