That’s because Lacrosse has progressed in a different direction over the last ten years give or take. When my son started twelve years ago colleges were hungry for kids, their were good scholarships for field players and it was not uncommon for Goalies to get full rides! Even four or five years ago in travel kids were getting breaks on tuition in some travel clubs on their elite teams, that’s why they were running two or three teams per grade. The kids on the B or C teams were paying for them! But now the colleges are running fifty plus kids on the team and your kid has to kiss butt to play! They played their favorite sixteen kids and the rest just stand their! College is about getting goods grades and getting a good job! I’ve talked to a lot of kids the last few years that played lax in college and said it wasn’t what they thoughit would be and their favorite years playing was before high school and college!
