The problem with womens lacrosse is us parents are probably the most motivated and close knot of any sport parents. Then add in a very robust and very costly club travel circuit that we all started at a young age with everything geared towards playing in college. Problem is in college only about 20 teams are relevant with most of our kids playing at average to way below average schools where no one cares except us the parents. In the end, no one cares about the sport except us. If you can comes to grips with that you will enjoy the ride
Have to digress on the close-knit parents. The minute we started any upper level club or travel, other team parents keep their guard up and view you with suspition until you pass the muster. soccer lacrosse and basketball
And, sorry, but Im not sending my girl to just any program to play. She wants to enjoy college, study abroad (haha one day) take classes that interest her and further her education and career prospects upon graduation. I told her - "just be your best right now - it doesnt matter about college (shes a 23) just be your best right now". IG's with 5-6 am workout calls scare her. sorry but thats just the way she is. Probably not some programs cup of tea but she is going to enjoy it right now.
