Payout is your kid had 10 great years of teammates, competing, learning how to lead, learning how to work hard etc. There also might be the payout of helping her get into a college she wouldn't otherwise be able to attend. Then there is the potential for some cost reduction (scholarship) on that college tuition.


If she goes to "a college she wouldn't otherwise be able to attend" - assuming you mean academically - you're just setting her up for failure. In over her head to start plus the "job" (time-wise) of lacrosse. Good luck.


I disagree with you saying that " you're setting her up for failure". Lacrosse is a great gateway to get into a college and I am not suggesting the girl has a 75 average and can get into an IVY League School however, they would be able to get into a college that they may not have been able to get into without being a student-athlete. I for one utilized my athletic ability to get into a better school that I know I would not have been accepted by admissions and ending up graduating with over a 3.5 GPA. - So I believe, that is what the previous parent was referring to
