exactly lots of parents are looking at schools smaller then their current HS that no one has heard of with crazy expensive price tags just so their kids can play.

If you are playing big time lacrosse god bless but most need a reality check!


So you aren't playing "big time" lacrosse you shouldn't bother? Kids playing D 3 need a reality check? Arrogant , ignorant statements. There are hundreds of great colleges and good fits for everyone.


Maybe its you who need the reality check dad. Rather then send your kid to a $60k school that no one has heard of so they play. Its not about you. Maybe your kid is better suited to go to Hopkins academically and just play on the club team. That's ok you know


Absolutely. And so is playing at a small liberal arts college that is a good academic match for my kid. And 30k or 60k won't make the decision for him. Luckily we have planned for college and were not banking on athletic scholarships. It's the experience and the education. Not validating daddy for spending 50k on travel lacrosse or wearing the sweatshirt to Hopkins. Would you rather your son be the 55th player on Hopkins or play and get a great education at CT College ? You don't have to choose play lacrosse or great education. Tons of great schools at D 3 level.


Not sure I would agree that $60k doesn't matter. If the $60k school gets doesn't get you in the door with companies because of zero name recognition you might want to re-think that.

Lacrosse ends. Pick the major and the school that gives you the best chance long-term. As we have all seen ANYONE can be a summer or school lacrosse coach!


You are saying CT college isn't worth it? Do a little Hw!!
