Been hearing a lot of movement coming this tryout season here on LI among various clubs in this age group. Some might be leaving club lax all together and opting to play only for school. when you consider the expense vs what you really get from these Long Island Clubs, makes you really wonder is it all worth it for a $6-7000 scholarship to a $50,000 per year school.
Go look at the commitment list from YJ, TG, etc for the past 3-4 age groups and see how many you can find on the roster of the team listed on the website
The same parents that love talking about their daughters weekend lacrosse successes on Monday mornings at work will be the same parents that will send their kid to any college as long as they get a couple of bucks and keep playing ( so they can say she got an athletic scholarship). What they will never tell you is many get $5k at a $55k school and many are playing at a school they never heard of growing up because Maryland and Northwestern didn't want her. There is a place for everyone. When its your 3rd or 4th daughter going through this process you will have a very different opinion. You will understand that lacrosse isn't everything and ends after 4 years so why burden yourself with 100's of thousands in debt.
And to the guy who said go check the rosters after 2 years he is right, many except for the ones getting big minutes quit because they don't like giving up 4-6 hours a day to lacrosse year round to ride a bench with 30-40 other girls
