[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much scholarship money - each year - did each receive? Honestly~[/quote]

D1- partial scholarship about 20% of total tuition (averaged)
D3- nothing they don't award scholarships/money[/quote]

At 20% and zero, they can't be doing it for the compensation. Did they choose to attend their respective colleges for other reasons other than the opportunities to play lacrosse?  College sports require year round conditioning and commitment to the team. [b]Is it a worthwhile sacrifice for those who clearly love the sport?[/b][/quote]

New poster here.  I have a 9yr old boy who loves playing LAX. He has been glued all weekend to ESPN watching the NCAA LAX championships.  He sleeps with his LAX stick next to his bed, he brings it everywhere. I have to yell at him when we go to the grocery store to leave his stick in the car. He got upset when I told him I only signed him up for 3 week of LAX camp this summer. I can threaten to not send him to LAX practice if he does not get a perfect spelling test and he studies his butt off not wanting to have to skip practice. The kid is laser focused on LAX. I can certainly imagine if this keeps up that he would be thrilled to play LAX in college, not matter if there is money or not.

My DH and I have driven none of his obsession for LAX, he picked it and for some reason loves the sport. It is pretty wild to watch your little 9yr old boy be so dedicated to something that takes hard work.[/quote]
