8th grade lax, time to start prioritizing if you are on the #1 team in country. That's just me though. If you play on a top-5 soccer team in country, prioritize that.
Why do you care if they play multiple sports and miss because of this? And what does it matter if they are on the #1 or #50 team. The player likes two sports, most likely three, not of your business. College coaches prefer multi-sport athletes. Girls who concentrate on one sport end up getting injured more anyways. And please don't say because the team struggles as a whole because they miss and not fair to team. I'm sure you care, because the soccer/lacrosse player tends to be the better player on the team anyways. Let these girls enjoy two sports they happen to love and makes them better athletes as a whole. Not your daughter, not your decision what they choose. Let the coach make the decision not to start the player that misses, etc. or find a team that understands the desires of multi-sport athletes. The funny thing about prioritizing a multi-sport athlete by 8th grade is they will be in high school in one year, no longer an issue with missing really.
