That's 375 teams with 30 kids per team thats 11,000 kids playing in college.

Add the D1 and D2 together and you get about 5,000 girls, say half to 3/4 get some cash thats 2,500 - 3,000 kids with althletic scholorship. This shows that just 2% of HS Varisty players get money.

So like the earlier poster said, do well in school and pick a school that you would like to get your degree from as if you will never play another day of lacrosse.
BOTC did a major series of articles regarding these numbers on our College Forum. Check out this article for additional details and analysis.


And the top D3 schools where kids get no money would SMOKE a lot of D1 programs so don't discount the playing ability of the 3's


The topic seems to be a return of investment, it really is silly and few and far in between that will gain from this. Yet travel parents seem so sure their daughters will get full rides to where ever they choose cause they played on blah blah team. It is the story and promise handed down to them when their daughters started playing and its the same line of BS that gets fed to the newbies then parents sell it to other parent. It is an idea these clubs sell to everyone, but it is far from reality. Hopefully your daughter plays because she enjoys it and you can afford it
