[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]

This is also so true, speaking as a parent of a former CLC player, because it's not unusual for some girls who opt for D1 decide it's not worth it and/or wonder what they are doing at a college their family never even knew existed before they went through recruiting and either drop or transfer.  And if the girl decides to go to UVA or VT, both schools have excellent, nationally ranked club teams that play colleges/universities from all over the country and allow your talented DD to have a "normal" college life and still play fun, extremely competitive lacrosse.  The UVA club team, ranked 6th in the country this past year, has a good amount of players from CLC Orange, as well as other nationally ranked HS club teams.  JMU also has a competitive club lax team.  Some of the girls on the college club teams are actually former D1 players who for whatever reason (academics, lack of playing time) switched to club.
