Players should move more not less. Most clubs having tryouts on the exact same day is the tell that they do not want you leaving. Go be a big fish in a small pond, rather than being stuck with limited minutes. You owe these clubs none of your loyalty. Everyone is a free agent in the current model.
If you are not an impact player on your team -you are not getting the scholarship opportunities. Club owners only want those kids going high D1 to brag for their social media. The rest are after thought getting 5 grand a year at D2

I'm going to assume your 25 is your oldest child and you're just misinformed. But the DI players (except for a very small handful) aren't getting much more than that in scholarship money either. Maybe up to $10 - $12K. But DI schools only have so much money to spread over rosters of 35-40 girls. I sure hope your daughter is one of the top 10 girls in the entire country or you're in for a rude awakening
Here is an observation, there are 117 D 1 schools scholarship with plenty of money to be had. Don't look to go to a school that has 35-40 kids on a roster especially if you are not getting a significant amount of money. The amount of money offered is commiserate with the playing time to be expected. Don't get caught up with name and rankings if finances are a major concern. Concentrate on a school where the coach wants you more than you want them. If your daughter/son has great grades look for a school that will combine academic aid with athletic aid, not all do. Only a handful will be able to make a living out of lacrosse after they graduate, so walking out of school with as little debt as possible should be the goal. Finding the right fit will make for a happy athlete/student and in turn parent.
