Soccer has major tournaments in late Aug, Labor Day, Columbus Day, some in Nov (Raleigh Cup), Feb (Richmond or Jefferson Cup, March (Amanda Post or Soccer Mania), Memorial Day and regular season games in both the fall and spring (prob 8 games each season).

Nothing compares to soccer in terms of time. As 7th graders, kids should have a good idea by now if they are looking to play college soccer or college lacrosse. Many will and can do both in high school. That needs to be the driver. If you want college lax, get off the A team or Premier team and instead play at a solid club or B team the next year in prep for high school soccer, while lax can be main focus.
