[quote=Anonymous]The need to play club reflects the reality of how competitive and popular lax has become. It’s not that the club coaches will get you into a college. To get better you need to play against the best competition, otherwise you’re in for a shock if/when you get to college. You also get better by having more game experience year round, developing muscle memory for game situations and honing the specific skills for your position. Then you go to college camps or showcase tournaments and coaches notice you. With the recruiting rules having changed, the high school coaches will Now have time to know their players and be able to make recommendations before commitment time.

The downside to the club system is that you may burn out physically or emotionally, develop chronic overuse injuries (which are being seen in younger athletes now), and pass up the experience and physical benefits of playing other sports.

The right balance is very hard to find and varies from kid to kid. But some club experience  is unfortunately likely necessary for every player who really wants to improve and play in college. [/quote]
