[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh.  People stop with the I had a friend whose kid started late and played for Yale or Duke or whatever.  Seeking a hook for college is not the only reason people play lacrosse.[b]  Some kids actually enjoy the sport and play for reasons other than college admissions[/b].  [/quote]

It is for most of the parents who are pushing for certain club teams.

It is the only way their kids will get into certain schools ie ivy league, duke, virginia, unc etc/[/quote]

Baloney.  Think that if you want because it must make you feel good but I can tell you from experience that in lax kids still need to make the SAT scores and GPAs.  Basketball and football may be different but lax doesn't bring in enough $$$ to any school that they will significantly lower SAT or GPA requirements.  Kids playing lax on Ivy teams, Duke, UNC, UVA and Michigan are making the scores that the non-athletes make.  How do I know this?  We have 3 kids playing D1/Ivy sports.[/quote]
