He's focused on a certain school, and once lacrosse is over, it's over.

So your son has played and still plays on age and just focused on a certain school? His Good Grades and your money can probably get him in? But, with some of the top schools , that is not always the case.

Not everyone can get onto their top choice schools with grades and money. The sport aspect helps a lot! That’s why parents spend so much money on lacrosse. They are hoping it will be a factor in helping their kid get into a top school they wouldn’t otherwise get in with just money and good grades. The thought and effort is more about future opportunities , more than actual lacrosse!

The sport doesn’t help a lot. Football and basketball do, but lacrosse doesn’t help all that much. Guessing you haven’t gone through the process or you wouldn’t be posting this silliness.Want your kid in a top school, save the $5000 a summer and invest it in a combination of SAT prep and tutors, it will serve your son much more. Parents who spend the money on lacrosse do it for themselves.
