[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is “join the team where she has the most friends an option?”

My estimate is that 65% of girls (probably 75% of boys) on any team outside of the top 25 will not play college for a variety of reasons. Get better with good friends and see what happens. Be a leader on your high school team and develop into the best adult possible.

If being recruited is your only measure of success for a parent, be prepared to be disappointed.  [/quote]

This is a good reminder for everyone.  One that I try to remind my household of frequently.[/quote]

I second this very good point. Girls that know each other well outside of lacrosse and like playing with each other as an extension of those relationships is very important. [/quote]

This is so true. Unless you are on a CLC B-level team, more than likely the majority of the girls on that team will not be playing lacrosse in college. They would rather go to a UVA or VT as a student vs a school where they can play lacrosse. That is why the social aspect is so important to the vast majority of girls playing lacrosse who are not in the top tier.[/quote]

YES. All of this. My 2025 daughter was burnt out on the recruiting focus this past year and club lacrosse was no longer fun for her. She decided she didn't want to consider colleges based on where she could play lacrosse. She's talented, but not the definition of top tier. She loves playing with her high school team but was going to quit club. She ultimately decided to continue with a club team where she has good friends and focus on having fun with it this next year; no recruiting.[/quote]
