[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  A lot of this is very helpful in developing perspective.  Keep the advice coming![/quote]

Having BTDT, the following may be helpful:

1. Understand what your daughter wants to get out of club lacrosse -- a recreational or more competitive experience.
2. Don't play travel lacrosse if you don't want to travel -- not all clubs travel the same, but be prepared to commit the time and money.
3. Avoid clubs where the skill gap on a single team is wide -- it will cause a lot of frustration for both the highly skilled and not as skilled players. And their parents.
4. Be aware of and stay away from the politics -- there are overly-involved parents pushing their agenda in support of their egos, not in the best interest of their daughters and teams. Club lacrosse is not always fair. The supposed best teams do not always have the best players, so understand you will deal with some head-scratching moments trying to figure out how teams are selected.
5. Look at the coaching -- how committed are the coaches to developing your daughter's game and helping her meet her individual goals.
6. Enjoy the ride -- it goes by fast, but would do it all over again.

Good luck.
