Yet, D2 school that is actively recruiting her already has her down for a prospect day weekend and no mention of the $100 or whatever these things tend to cost.

I realize it’s a drop in the bucket in lacrosse dollars but at this point, I’m not interested in forking over $100 for a prospect day when she could just be invited for a visit.

Based on my experience, the DI invites are legit, they are going to players who the coaches at that school want to see. I would ask club director to contact the coach in order to validate the schools interest.

Not familiar with the DII.

If your daughter is truly interested in attending the school I would send her. If she is one of the schools top recruits it is probably not as important to go but if she is one of the many players that the school is looking at but not yet ready to make an offer you might want to give it serious consideration.
