Certainly, these are money makers for the college team hosting. the money is used for gear & uniform/clothing and travel expenses, meals etc. but the coaches will be watching the games and taking notes.
Its a good chance for you and yours to visit the school in question and get a feel for what playing for that particular coach might be like.
usually the current team is there to act as refs or coaches affording an opportunity for your daughter to hear first hand about playing lax at the college level.
The coaches don't want to talk to mom and dad, but your daughter should have a few questions ready to go cause if the coach likes what he/she see's they will find a minute or two to introduce themselves to her.
