[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know, I know but hear me out. DS is a junior at a Mont Co DCC school and loves lacrosse. Picked it up his freshman year after not making the very competitive soccer team in the fall. Had never touched a stick before the first day of tryouts. This is not a school stacked with private school/private club kids whose fathers played D1 and kids that have been playing since they are 5. JV and Varsity are essentially no cuts and every year kids who play work hard to recruit their soccer, football and wrestling friends so there are enough kids to fill the squads.

This team regularly gets beaten by other DCC schools and smoked by upcounty W schools.  Is there any way to address this in an application? "Yes I'm a white kid who plays lacrosse but I'm not THAT kind of white kid that plays lacrosse?"[/quot

If he is not recruitable makes zero difference. My DD went to private. Was captain of lacrosse because that’s how it works for senior year. Maybe showed some leadership. But it’s a nothing burger. Who cares? Get over yourself, lady.[/quote]
