We choose to have her play with a certain club because we are not traveling out to YJ practices. If YJ's were the best in her age, and she made the team, we would still have her play elsewhere. My daughter is an honors student in one of the top schools on LI with an almost perfect GPA, and that's all that matters....


That perfect GPA won't necessarily get her into Princeton. But the right exposure on the right lacrosse team might. Case in point: A friend of mine's daughter had all the best numbers, like sick amazing 36 ACT etc. Couldnt get into her dream school (Princeton). Friend who plays for YG. Very good student with no-where near same amazing numbers...yup: Princeton. Acceptance rate at the best schools hovers from 6%-10%. Great GPA kids are a dime a dozen. If you are not playing for a very good program that has exposure. I would say Liberty might come in second, then you are not getting into your dream school. Well you might, but only as a bench warmer. Just understand that.
