A lot of know it all’s that know nothing. Ask any parent, what the “easiest” path for their daughter to play D1 sports and 95% would say lacrosse if it available in their town, city or region.

I’m not sure what your point is.

The Majority of Lacrosse parents I know view Lacrosse as a way to help get their child into a College/University that they would otherwise not be able to get accepted at. Most were less concerned about scholarships knowing full well that only the majority of players do not receive significant “athletic scholarship $$” at the most competitive programs many of which are excellent academic institutions.

The goal is to get into a great school!
Coming from Long Island it is extremely difficult to get into the best schools without having something to offer in addition to grades and test scores.
