Club lacrosse = You will play lacrosse on every single weekend in June and July, half of May and the 1st weekend in August. Then you get two weeks off before tryouts begin. Its allot for a kid who also wants to enjoy the summer and be a boy or a family that wants a life beyond lax. Be honest with the coaches and yourself. If you don't mind paying and not playing then its not an issue but its becoming a very expensive hobby that many parents see as some sort of investment.
