I need some help, at what age is it appropriate for a girl to start Travel. As I know the first part of this is, is the player ready, but there is a real concern about the politics and starting travel after a team is formed and not getting a fair look at tryouts.
In reading this board and some comments for 2019 & 2020 when were these teamed truly formed in 5th grade or did it start as early as 4th grade.
What is your advice.
(I will post similar post on YJ)
it's really up to you (the Parent) you have to be ready to commit to the weekend tournaments and affiliated travel expenses, as well as club fee's ( which are easily $1,000 to $1500)
The actual playing of lacrosse is the easy part.
Most clubs will have a team for every ability level so your daughter will find a team/club.
FWIW, I currently have 2 lax playing daughters, the oldest is in 10th grade and in the recruiting mode, the next one is in 5th grade and could play travel next year, although I will hold her back 1 year until my older one is done with travel ( it really is a lot of work, $ and time to pull off)
