Early returns in 2024 fall lacrosse, Columbus Day Invite, NY: 91 Nitro wiped out Rebels Kraken and Towermen. 91 Navy, Kraken, 91 Empire and Towermen all traded with no standouts.

Parent of an older child here. My best advice, get out now while you can. Save your money. Spend weekends on vacation and not at DE Turf. It’s not worth it at all! You will spend tens of thousands on the teams, gear and traveling. In the end the high school years are dominated by reclasses. The local teams fly in out of state reclasses to play on your local team. Your kid may be good but at some point a 17 yr old will be showing up to tournaments to take the reps away from your 15 yr old. Your coach will sell you out in a second to get wins because it means more money in the long run. He wants to brag about the high D1 kids he “developed”. Don’t believe me? Read some of the older Maryland BOTC boards.

Can’t disagree more. Travel lacrosse is an amazing experience where your son will make lifelong friends and learn great values that will help him in every aspect of life. If you work hard and want it, there is a place for everyone.

Amen to all of this. I'm only mad that it took 4 years to come to the decision. My kid is happier, my wallet is fuller and the weekends are free to enjoy with my family. My 9th grader has never been happier, with school ball, clinics and such to keep them engaged.

Don't let them sell you that there is only one path to play.

Amen to this. But it is the parents job to ensure the child is on the right team, and isn't on a particular team just for status. If your child isn't really an athlete and isn't interested in being pushed off his phone or computer game, you can't force him into higher level sports. How is the team's development program? Are they getting playing time, at least when the score difference increases and as coaches use most of the roster? If they are on the right level team for your player, nothing better for comraderie and teaching and friendship and excitement than travel lacrosse.
