How often during the fall does your club actually practice? And what % of the team actually attends?
Trying to see if our club is the normal or not
Find a team that matches your daughter's desire. If your daughter only wants to play lacrosse, find a team that practices two to three times in the fall and all of the girls are committed to that as well.
If your daughter enjoys playing multiple sports and her practice time in the Fall of 8th grade for lacrosse is only one day a week and her teammates have similar schedules, there is nothing wrong with that. In fact some may argue for injury prevention and lack of burn out, that playing other sports is more beneficial.
So some Clubs practice as much as three days in the Fall and some only one, but most competitive programs ramp up in the Spring and expect full participation multiple days a week. But then also remember that most girls in the Spring have a stick in their hand SEVEN days a week with school ball as well.
Don’t always have to buy into more is better. You know your daughter better than anyone. Don’t worry what others are doing.
