If your child is good, they will always find a place to play in college. Athletes are athletes. Our HS has put out a more than a handful of girls into mid to low D1 without ever playing club travel ball EVER.

Now travel makes the road easier and the big clubs the easiest because lazy college coaches give them the most looks. As this year illustrated again, if you aren't playing at a top 10 lacrosse college its all about the same because the talent level falls off a cliff.

Do it because you and your child enjoy the game and the travel involved because the ROI is terrible relative to academics. 100% of kids can qualify for academic money while the national average of HS varsity players receiving ANY athletic money is around 1.8%. Enjoy the ride sadly it goes by really quick
