I believe it is both a mix of parents footing the bill and scholarship. But with regards to investment, you might as well throw all of lacrosse out the window as there is nothing profitable about the sport between club, private coaching and club lacrosse as lacrosse is a terminal sport that doesn’t end in a career. So the reason many seek a PG year is to not play lacrosse in college but play lacrosse at a better school they would normally not get into. Anyone can play lacrosse in college with over 350 schools that offer lacrosse. But the PG investment is not in lacrosse but the college. Sadly it doesn’t always work out for everyone. |
