If on average there are 35 players per D1 program that's approximately 1800 D 1 players covering 4-5 graduation years out of the huge numbers playing in this country. If a coach were to get real creative with his scholarships and give out 1/2 to everyone on his team that's only 1728 scholarships per cycle of players. It's a number that is always in flux based on what he needs to do.

Odds are parents your child is not going to get a scholarship there are over 500,000 registered youth lacrosse players and the number is growing year to year. Don't get so caught up in this craziness. Let your kid have a great experience with his friends and teammates allowing him to just be a kid.


I thought it was only 13 scholarships per D1 mens team?
