Your advice to have your daughter (or son) look at several potential clubs is a valuable recommendation to any of our readers. There are many parameters needed for a good a lacrosse-player fit into a club environment. The Yellow Jackets thread attracts the drama here based on the visibility they enjoy regionally and given that they are the hunted team on Long Ilsand as we had discussed earlier today.
