nobody wants to sit the bench, but people also want into a good college and have a good career and good connections --so I wouldn’t call that a failure. If you’re on a team that is stacked with all kinds of good players only 3-5% of all lax players even get a D1 roster spot! that is hardly a failure


Much better to go to the best academic school you’re able and play club. Plenty of girls leave D1 for club, including transferring for better academics, had much more playing time and fun on club, had a much more balanced college life, able to actually take classes that they wanted, study abroad and develop other interests besides lax.

As a former Capital Blue parent, I will tell you the vast majority of the girls and the Capital staff cared only about playing lax in college and we routinely got push back for insisting that our DD was picking a college for academics and if lax worked out, great, but otherwise no thanks.

I am sure that I am missing some - Capital freshmen are currently getting good minutes at Marquette, Denver, Duke and Florida. Many others seeing the field, too.

Stop with this leverage crap. Girls want to play in college, nobody wants to sit the bench.

Should people criticize them if players don’t contribute?
