Here is the thing about lacrosse, far sub par athletes compared to nearly any other sport are able to go compete at the collegiate level. Most the kids going to school on lacrosse (not all) are merely trained sticks and not very good athletes. Don't be offended of the truth, be thankful that your daughter is in this sport at this time and able to take advantage of that fact.



Congrats.....you have won the dumbest opinion award....now please tell us the sports that have the best athletes. Since BOTC is all about facts please provide facts.


Nope. That is spot on. So many high schools from MD and LI have 6-8 girls lacrosse players going D1 each and every graduating year, girls who never even stepped on the field. You ever see that in any other sport? No, that's a fact, it is not even remotely possible in any other sport, yet it happens over and over at multiple schools with girls lacrosse. What sport has the best athletes is not the point. Get over being offended by the reality of exactly what is happening. Yes, every lax parent wants to believe that their kid is such a rare, elite athlete and that has enabled her (or him) the opportunity to be recruited. And yes, for a handful of them that is the case, but certainly not a blanket statement that can be used to cover all. BTW.... Congrats... you have won the most delusional parent award.
