There is no "equal" playing time in Club lacrosse - never has been. There are plenty of girls that play on "top" teams (past and present) that are content with barley seeing the field as long as they are on a "top" team
When you get to HS and it mainly becomes showcases clubs absolutely do (and should) equal playing time, or pretty darn close to it. If your club doesn’t do that in HS then you are with the wrong club.
Unless their is equal talent their isn’t equal play time. Strongest players play more and will help others get to schools better than they could get by being on a B teams best player. In summer the top players will play more to be seen by the correct level of school. In the fall those that don’t have committments will get the majority of time to be seen by 2nd level schools looking to fill their roster.
As someone who has been through this more than once, you could not be more wrong. They should be playing equal, or close to equal in the summer going into sophomore and junior years. If your club is not playing them that way, you should switch clubs. Wins and losses don’t matter when they get older. And the good coaches know that.
