What never seems to get out to folks is the fact that even at a "big time', D1 program, the money that gets doled out to a lacrosse proghram is not that much. Not to mention there are 30+ kids to split whatever dollar amount that program gets. So...if you saved the 2k+ every year for the next 5/6 years, it would prob be more than whatever your child would get in college...


not true - my son has played travel lacrosse since second grade and is now in college - he played on well coached travel teams and we never paid more then $1,000 a year tuition - he is getting more athletic money per year then we paid for all the travel tuition combined.... we did not do it for that reason or chase the scholarship dream but it didn't suck when it found him
