Regarding “ Making” Varsity and playing varsity at LI HIghschools. It absolutely matters the HS. Just because someone on Varsity at one school, it does not make them better than a girl on JV at a better lacrosse school. I know of many, where that is the case. Just depends on the lacrosse level at the HS. My daughters club team is much better and more competitive than her HS varsity team! Just matters what HS girl is in. That is exactly why she plays club. The highschool team is not great. That may not be the case for girls in hotbed HS

Not a knock but way to many kids sit on JV or on varsity bench till Senior year at prestigious stacked lacrosse high schools. Many even as juniors play very little and get pushed back to bench as senior by rising powerhouse fr / soph / jr. While it may be great to make playoffs or win county titles eventually kid needs to play. Kid needs to lead in games and get it done not just watch powerhouse ( insert HS ) steamroll teams while they clap. Otherwise sadly they’ll still be clapping at the college they attend from same spot they were on HS team. Being a backup or 3rd string QB on the best team is worse than starter on weaker team. Team sports are meant to be played.

There are backups on every team. If you only value playing time you really don’t understand team sports.
