Pick the best school you could imagine your kid going to for lacrosse and my kid will probably go to that same school or better without having to play lacrosse.
So where is your edge?
Okay I'll bite ... Harvard, Princeton and Stanford.
I promise you your kid isn't "probably" going to any of those schools because for a kid without a hook, it isn't probable for even the best students. So I don't get your point. The edge is that my kid is going to get to attend this type of institution for her college education, and yours likely isn't.
And here we go again. Everyone on here seems to be going to an Ivy or Stanford. Stop the madness. Judging by the meatheads rooting on their daughters on our team I'm having a tough time thinking there are a bunch of 100 GPA kids on the team
There r 111 D1 girls programs. At least 25% of them, if not more, are extremely difficult academic institutions to get into without something like lax. It goes way beyond Ivies and Stanford. I won't make a complete list but how about Georegetown, Davidson, Colgate, William & Mary, Richmond, Duke, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Boston College, Hopkins, Navy, Vanderbilt, Army, Michigan, Bucknell, Virginia ... plus more. All great schools, and all hard to get into. If lax can help a kid get to one of these type of places, I think it's a huge win for the kid.
