Mom and Dad realizing that they have been sold a bill of goods. Their kids don't love it, the parents cant force it and a summer of expensive travel just isn't worth it. "A" parents are usually quiet until they start jumping up and down about their kids verbal

Look at the number of views vs posts. Would be hard to believe that many people could look yet resist saying something.

Anyone else seeing that? Parents realizing kids aren't the strongest and using the entry to HS and all the academic honors stuff as an excuse. It didn't help that we had a very unbalanced summer schedule and their kids weren't played a lot. Do lots of kids usually drop out as they enter HS?

Some are great athletes and some are very bright. It's doing well at both for a sustained period of time that's difficult. If I had to choose I would hope for my kids to be brilliant and could care less if they played lacrosse. Lacrosse is over after your senior year, then who cares how good you WERE.

So they "are using lacrosse to get into better academic schools than most can get into without it" - in other words a school they are not qualified to attend based on their academic record. And then you add to that a year-round, full time job (lacrosse) and the travel that goes with it. Sounds like you are setting your daughter up for failure - all to play a sport with minimal prospects for post graduation employment. Put ego aside and make the right choice for the future, you'll feel better about it 10 years from now.

Best two-way midfielder at Notre dame is pre-med. Not to mention the IVY league where tons of kids are balancing tough majors/academics and tough lax. Is it for everyone, no way. But for those who can handle it, it is amazing. And they would be at the top of my pile to hire after school. And just because lax helps these kids get into these schools, it does not mean they r not qualified students. You apparently don't know the statistics relative to "regular" admissions into these schools. A huge number of "qualified" students don't get in. Kids with perfect SAT scores, 4.0 GPAs in honors and AP classes, dozens of impressive extra-curriculars etc. And you know what? If once they get there the lax on top of the academics is overwhelming, they can quit lax and they still get to stay at Harvard, Stanford Duke etc. So keep putting down these girls who work their asses off to get good grades and excel in a sport like lax, all-the-while telling yourself that your kid and your way of thinking is better. And for the record, you don't "put your kid" in a school, they actually have to get in.

It's because the drive and determination it takes to become that good at a sport are the same qualities that translate to being successful in many endeavors. It doesn't have to be an either or choice for many. Maybe it does for your kid. For mine, I let them follow their dreams, both academically and athletically. Too bad yours doesn't have your support.

Being from Long Island and a certain demographic if you are not a legacy it is next to impossible to get into some schools specifically the Ivys without something putting you over the top. if someone uses lacrosse to make that happen and set up the rest of their life good for them.

Put ego aside and make the right choice for the future, you'll feel better about it 10 years from now. You clearly don't understand the statistics. I'm betting you would say a 3.8 GPA in all Honors and AP classes, 1450 on your SATs , president of three clubs, a national science award or two etc would represent someone whose academic record would be fairly qualified to be at just about any school. And the truth is, a student like that would be just fine anywhere in the country, including Stanford, Harvard or Princeton. Yet that profile is an almost certain reject at those schools without an additional "hook" such as sports. So yeah, using lax as a way for a good student to get into a great school does make a lot of sense. Sounds like you don't believe in your daughter.

That's what I thought the previous commenter was implying. Not putting down qualified, driven student athletes who need a little push to get over the hump. I was referring to those who use sports to put themselves in a bad situation academically - in a school they have no business being in.

I don't think it implies what u r stating. Ultimately I think we agree that "fit" is important. You likely don't want your daughter at a place where they r overwhelmed or feel inferior and self-conscious. It is important to consider their abilities and not let the "glamour" of a top academic school blind you to the best fit for them. But for those that can "hack it", using lax as a means to get into otherwise almost impossible schools can really set them up for success in the future.

Coaches weren't bending on that. And I'm not sure I agree that the best players are the only ones who take tough majors. In fact at the Ivies and other top academic schools, some players are recruited specifically for their grades and academics to balance out some top players that might not be as up to snuff in that area. The Ivies have an index to hit and others have a defacto index of sorts w admissions. I know several examples of girls at these schools who are not top players, who take challenging majors, and were recruited in part (maybe large part) because of their grades.

You post some non-sense like its a fact .Do you really think that the coaches are letting the kids they need the most and give the most money to take the most time consuming majors while the kids they give the least money to and need the least are forced to take the easy majors. Does that make any sense to anyone.

At those schools u see some top players take tough majors.By no means is that the norm and definitely very talented all-around kids to be able to handle it. The rest is more the way u describe. Top players taking easier majors and the backups in the tough ones if they so choose.

Coaches weren't bending on that. And I'm not sure I agree that the best players are the only ones who take tough majors. In fact at the Ivies and other top academic schools, some players are recruited specifically for their grades and academics to balance out some top players that might not be as up to snuff in that area. The Ivies have an index to hit and others have a defacto index of sorts w admissions. I know several examples of girls at these schools who are not top players, who take challenging majors, and were recruited in part (maybe large part) because of their grades. Just like everything there is truth to both. Now the players taken with Great GPA's are there to boost the teams GPA's but some are also told or passed over because they want to utilize the University to be academiclly challenge.

I'm sure you are right. But it wasn't our experience at the top academic schools. In fact I don't recall any of them ever pushing back on major interests other than one commenting that the girls on their team taking pre-med (there were 3 i believe in this instance) needed to do labs over the summer and they used this as an example of how you can major in anything, but certain majors are more difficult schedule wise and that they would work w the players to make it work. My daughter committed to a good academic school and the question of her major was not really an issue thru the process. So I wonder if you can point to an instance of someone being passed over because untended major at a top academic school. That would be interesting.

But when u add in the schools mentioned above, and other great academic institutions like Vanderbilt, Navy, Davidson, William & Mary, Richmond and more, you start seeing that a meaningful portion of D1 offers kids both great lacrosse and great academics.

I guess you are the lacrosse snob though? "no disrespect to many of those programs but putting them in the great lacrosse category is not exactly near correct." Which is it? 1st you want to call me names because I limited the universe to D1 to compare to Ivies which are all D1 and then you say that the D1 programs I have stated are not good. And the use of UNC by the original poster to make the point that girls on top lax teams take weak majors is appropriate. UNC's academics with regard to their athletes has come under quite a bit of scrutiny lately in case you haven't seen. And the list of majors on that team is not great. So deal with it. My point was that it is not true of all schools, even some with very good lax programs.

They were a final four team in 2004 and was one of the stronger programs around up until about 10 years ago. I think they should be a program that could rise up if they get the right staff. They have the ingredients. SEC budget, decent weather, good school.

From "college board" biggest majors at Vandy are 28% social sciences, 13% engineering, 10% interdicipline studies, 8% biology. Sorry none of them are 80% like the team. This coach like so many others is pushing kids into certain majors so they can play lacrosse 40 hours a week while keeping their grades up

Re: Girls 2020 - 9th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017 B_O_T_C #184492 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A I do not know why kids on going on college tours, meanwhile they haven't even begun school. Parents have to realize that college is not only about lacrosse. When your kid doesn't have the smartest brain but gets recruited to one of the "Top" colleges for Lacrosse, they are going to check grades and when they see your grades in the pit they are not going to want you anymore. Lacrosse only has a little bit of money, because it is not one of the "biggest" sports yet; like basketball, track and field, soccer.... I just think some of you guys should realize that education should always be first then sports second. I don't think you'd want to be a dumb lacrosse player.

Doesn't make you a bad person for taking the deal, but facts show many kids and schools dumb down majors to keep grades up and allow for lacrosse to be their fulltime job.

The other guy was correct, if a kid wants to go to UNC, Harvard ,Maryland, UC Berkley , D1, D2,D3 who are you to say why they chose that school and if that school is a good mix of academics ,athletics etc. for them. I am the third poster to tell you that you are the one who seems to believe only your opinion is correct. oh you r probably the same guy but who cares. Wasn't the point. They can do whatever they want. Just sick of everyone saying that girls who care about lacrosse and work hard to be good at it are sacrificing their academics and taking gut majors. It's BS. Lots of them are doing both. You are the one who was saying that exact thing you dope .

Not much talent there so anyone that wants to play in college surely can especially with all the new schools being added. If you like the game keep playing but you are right about marginal PAL girls still playing the game. They are everywhere. Most teams have a few horses and then a bunch of complimentary players

Have seen offers range as high as 60%, but that is unusual. 25-35% is think is most typical, obviously depends on where they have you ranked and the position of need. Hope that helps.

Re: Girls 2020 - 9th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017 B_O_T_C #188156 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A My kid got 25% of 'total cost to attend' athletic money, plus a nice chunk of academic money. Both added together didn't cover the full cost, but it put a huge dent in it. If you divide 12 scholarships by 30-ish girls you'll quickly see that most probably get between 25%-35%. But here's something the coaches can do: They know that the girls who are getting more academic money can be given less athletic money and the girls who can't get as much academic money will need more athletic money. So, I'm guessing that when it's all said and done, most girls probably get close to equal total amounts, athletic+academic. My kid had a high GPA so she qualified for lots of academic money. And, I know girls who weren't as good academically who (probably) got a little more than 25% athletic money. I think it probably all equals out in the end. Just my first-hand experience.

An exceptional player will get a little more athletically. A kid they hope to build the team around. Otherwise 25-50% is very good.

Don't forget there are lots of schools that don't fund the allocated amount of ncaa scholarships. Kind of like a team not spending up to the salary cap. This happens at more schools than you think

Those kids need the athletic money even more. Good grades fix everything!!!! Ivies, for example, don't give academic or athletic money, just need. But you are right, good grades makes it much easier for the schools to recruit the player. But what people seem to keep missing is that kids with perfect grades and test scores get routinely rejected from the top schools. "using lax" to get into reach schools does not mean you don't have great grades. The acceptance rate at Stanford, Harvard, Northwestern etc ranges from 5-12 percent. Most applicants are very good students. And those acceptance rates include athletes, development kids etc. So lax, or some other skill that the school values, is a great way to get to great schools. A kid w a 3.7 GPA and 1350 on SATs is a GREAT student. Will have ZERO shot of getting into the top schools. If they are good enough at lax, they r a slam dunk to get in. They are smart kids and will do very well once they get to college and will have many doors opened up for them after graduation.

See the thing is there are a lot of people that witnessed many things and you my friend are just better off leaving it alone and moving on. You really must be a total loser . First no one has any clue what you are babbling about . How would anyone know who this kid is . If the kid is on LEG 2nd team honestly do you really think she is better than the top kids from YJ , TG , Liberty , Elevate . You act as if other people have any clue about some 13 yo kid . If the kid were that good why would Leg be only too willing to see her go .

I have seen many players look like rock stars on one team, only to disappear on another. Huge leap from teal to team up, another huge leap from there to YJ A or top Md teams. Remember 2020 leggy A was built on a small handful of YJ B girls, with lesser talent to fill the gaps. Projecting a player as a stud on top team of Leggy may not work out as well as you think, much less touting as a top 10 LI player even further of a stretch. Not sure the team's Leggy B plays in tourneys, but I can assure you it is nothing close to the top M&D, Skywalkers etc...of the world. And to further add to the context, I have seen the weakest struggling players on A teams drop to the B teams and look like the end all. The only way to know if a player is the real deal is to put her on a top team with other top players and then play against another top team, do that for 3 or 4 games and see what you got. Maybe she is the end all, but you have no idea as of right now.

High academic schools want the grades and test scores to go along with the lacrosse ability. Admission criteria is certainly lower than a regular student if you are that "stud", but even then you better have good grades, show continuous improvement, and solid PSAT scores that translate into solid SAT scores that a coach can get some buy-in from an admissions department depending on the school.

The smart ones are taking their time, looking at multiple offers, visiting schools and finding the right fit. Some verbaled over a year ago, some will continue to explore all offers. It is amazing that some people jump on the first offer thinking that it actually relates to where they stand in the lacrosse peaking order. Believe it or not many of the best players will take their time, many colleges chase the top players so they have many options to weigh. It is not a race to see who commits early, who cares. Early commits are either kids who are dialed in on one school and jump on that offer as soon as it comes in, and good for them. Or it is parents looking to win the early recruiting race, too bad for them

Re: Girls 2020 - 9th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017 Anonymous #190067 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Mom or Dad - not to call out a kid but something doesn't add up with a 90 average and 1000 SAT. A 90 average would equate to anywhere between a 4.0 to 3.75 cumulative GPA depending on the grade point scale of school. Maybe the schools could explain away low SAT test score and pitch she had the GPA. But many of the high academic schools don't set the bar as low as you suggest. The average is the team average, so it's the sum of all vs. comparing the two. But NW, ND, GTown want more than 1200 - know that for sure. UNC and UMD not so much, but what you don't reference is your "stud" wasn;t asked to take the SAT numerous times - which if it's true it was a 1000, they would of made you take the SAT and/or ACT repeatedly to get the score up. I laugh at the implied notion this were the schools considered, because clearly all of those schools don't operate that way. Nor do all those schools play of the game of extending an offer, regardless of the studliness, if they are all "involved."

Absolutely not true daughter was a 90 student didn't score well on SAT . Georgetown, UMD, Northwestern ,UNC, ND were all willing to get her in with 1000 on SAT. They had plenty of kids with 1400 on the SAT, average the 2 kids out its 1200 per student. That's how the coaches do it . Sounds like a good lax player but a brick academically should have gotten her off the wall and into the library dad LMAO bravo everyone! I needed a good laugh

Re: Girls 2020 - 9th Grade Fall 2016/ Summer 2017 B_O_T_C #190829 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Just know that getting a degree in lacrosse does not help you later in life. My kids are older now and I see a number of young ladies my daughter played with who have degrees in lesser majors or some with no degrees at all but have no college eligibility left who are unfortunately struggling. Please keep the big picture in mind when guiding your daughters. Playing a sport in college is not a life long career. A solid major with an impressive GPA is. And yes my daughter was fortunate and worked hard enough to do both.

My kid is D1 at a top school and most of the kids have dropped out of their preferred major because it's too hard to persue the more challenging majors with the rigors of being a D1 athlete. You'll see . There is a trade off

Very glad it worked out for your daughter but go look at the rosters. When most colleges top majors are taken by 10-20 percent of kids why on some teams do 80% of the team take the same "weak" major? The players choice of majors don't reflect that of the student body at large. YES there are exceptions but more athletes than not take easier majors then non student athletes.

There are some schools, Princeton being one where there are no classes or any academic activities that require attendance during the time when all athletes practice. It is my understanding that all extra curricular activities (band, theater, dance, varsity sports etc..) all take place at the same time. Students are free to choose whatever field of study they want without having to worry about a class or a lab interfering with their practice time. Keep telling yourself that the girls who choose to challenge themselves will not be successful. Female student athletes who graduate from places like Duke, Penn, Princeton, Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Hopkins, Columbia and a host of others will be "recruited" by employers. If they choose to go straight to grad school they will have great options as well. Go back under your rock.

Yes there will be a handful of kids taking really challenging majors on any team but on many many teams you will see 75 85% of the team taking the same, suggested courses.

So I'm pretty sure you don't know what you are talking about. I've had 2. Never have we had a discussion with the coaching staffs about their suggestions for majors. Nor have my kids. Are there tradeoffs that have to made to pursue certain majors, absolutely. For example, if you want to pursue premed or science-based majors, you may likely need to take labs over the summer. But those decisions have been made by our kids, not by the coaches. Maybe there are SOME D1 schools that force certain majors on kids, but not true for all. So stop stating that D1 programs are all like that. Likely your kid wasn't good enough to play. Got it.

The rosters don't lie. D1 players in all sports are guided into certain majors to keep them eligible. Coaches just want them to play. Hopefully you don't sell your daughter out, There is always a place to play and always a school that will let you take the major of your dreams Then why even play school lacrosse , you sound like you have a kid who was not good at lax and equally hideous in the classroom . You come on here to knock kids who have reached the highest level doing something they live , you sound like a pathetic loser . If my kid wants to pursue her dream of trying to win a national title then go on to med/ law/ business/ dental / vet/ etc school but it takes an extra grad school year , who cares she is living her dream . Keep telling your kid she is not good enough to have it all ,and she will reach for nothing .

Nobody on here will have their daughter go to a mid level D1 lacrosse school. Can't argue with parents of a Shannon
