If a kid wants to play in college they can especially if he is a goalie, PERIOD!! Plenty of spots on low D1 teams D2, D3 and Club Teams. In some instances you are really sacrificing academics. Don't be one of those parents that sends their kid to a terrible $50,000 school just so he/she can play some lacrosse. Look for the perfect fit and don't be backed into a corner waiting for that relatively small athletic scholarship offering.
