[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the lacrosse team on the upswing?  Or should my kid just focus on his club team?[/quote]

If your child is very into lacrosse, he should focus on his lacrosse club team regardless of what school he goes to.  If he's at St. Albans, sports is required, so presumably lacrosse will be his spring sport.  If somebody wants to play in college and does track and field at his high school instead of lacrosse they'd see that as a red flag (although if he were good enough it wouldn't matter).

Good coaching staff, nice kids, some strong players, and Ivy League schools like the STA top players if they are also good students (they've got kids playing lacrosse at Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth for example).  They also have plenty of kids play D3 in college.  A couple of nice wins last year (over undefeated Georgetown Prep in the regular season and SSSAS in the tournament) had them ending the season on a high note.  STA does not recruit as aggressively for sports in general or lacrosse in particular as some of the other IAC teams, so you probably won't see a powerhouse team.  But it's a worthwhile lacrosse experience -- and for any HS lacrosse player, playing for the school is something the kids enjoy and value.[/quote]
