You are incorrect. Look at the bios and rosters of the top 40 programs. You will find most played more than sport in HS. The top programs want athletes. Playing ONLY lacrosse since kindergarten doesn’t always make you an athlete
From my experience through more than 1 recruiting cycle was that the coaches want the best athletes (that have speed). I believe that if a player plays/starts on multiple varsity sports teams, like soccer or field hockey in the Fall and basketball in the winter, it helps get your player on the radar of the college coaches. My sense is that the coaches believe there can be more potential with that player in lacrosse in college when it becomes their only focus, and if that recruit is playing 3 high school seasons and managing your academics, it provides an indication that the player enjoys being a part of a team and will be able to handle the demands of playing college lacrosse. Obviously, there are the can't miss super players in the 2028 recruiting class, but once you get past those 50 players or so, 3 sport athletes will differentiate themself in that next/large group of players that are competing in the recruiting process for the top 50 school slots.
If you take a look at the SR accounts for the 2026 and 2027 Capital players, I suspect that there are a lot of 2/3 sport athletes that are going to the target schools of the 2028s....
Most of the girls’ schools actually require sports each or most semesters so it’s not surprising they are multi sport athletes. It has also been the cause of a lot of injuries for girls unfortunately. Repetitive use or otherwise. By junior or senior year many cut back so as not to be injured for lax season.

I would suggest that 6 practices a week and 20+ games against good competition in the ISL or WCAC, including playing with and against committed 26s and 27s, matters in terms of development. Especially if there is good coaching.
Less so if it's a non-competitive public in a less talented league.

So high school lacrosse doesn’t matter if they are playing another sport in the Spring like Soccer, Track, Crew or Tennis. As long as they compete well on their club team and show well at all of the camps they will be fine.

Lol, almost every single NCAA lacrosse player was a multi sport athlete in HS. Coaches love them, other sports (especially bball and hockey) can help with lacrosse, and it is also good for injury prevention (not using same movements over and over). The amount of bad info here is staggering sometimes.

College coaches definitely do love multi-sport athletes. They would see multi-sport participation as a sign of natural athleticism and an ability to balance academics and multiple commitments.
And leadership in most cases
