My fear is that the girls that opt to play will likely improve significantly, making it more difficult for my daughter to keep up. In short, I wonder whether we're already somewhat late to the party and frankly was surprised by our invitation.

Any thoughts / advice would be much appreciated.


I think it depends on your family and your child. I will say it is a large financial commitment as well as a time commitment (in the summer). That being said for my daughter is has been a GREAT opportunity. She has grown as a player and teammate and has made some really positive friendships playing here at TG. So, if your daughter loves lacrosse and wants to grow as a player than it might be a good move for her. Good luck with your decision!
