Man, always a lot of Vitriol on here. Be confident in your decisions, no need to project. The previous posters seemed to give a well reasoned and informative post. W/L in summer ball? The primary reason you play high school club lacrosse in the summer is to get recruited in college. At the younger ages it’s learning the game and having fun.

I just glanced at their last few years for colleges. By that measure if those club rankings are correct, Blue Star outkicks their coverage via college placement. Looks like four D1 already this year, and high level D1 at that. Putting aside the high end D3 schools listed. Past years look pretty good as well. What are they doing better than these clubs with more wins? I don’t know but it’s interesting. They were ranked one millionth in that ranking you posted. The only real measure for club is placement rate. That is it.

What’s the point of being number 12-20 on the bench of the top club, start somewhere else and actually get seen.

Secondly club is critical if you are at a lower level high school program. Kids here want to win county’s states and TOC (no longer), although you want to do well during the summer, this is what matters. If you play for a high level public, or parochial, you’ll get seen. High school tournaments run after most colleges have stopped playing. This is your showcase. If you play for a crappy high school, club is more important, no one is coming to see you play. Think of the added club fees as a property tax you thought you would save.

That said if you actually play on a high level Nj high school program you more than likely play club ( Summit, BWR, RFH, w field, hunt central ridge wood private/parochials).
