At my sons Founders league boarding school, all the PG’s coming into the boarding school have a spot already at an above average D1 school. Of those players, half were asked by the coach to take a PG year and half had already planned on taking a PG year. Tricky part is taking a PG year at the best fit boarding school, since there is a limit (I think it’s 3 PG’s) that can be on the game field at a time.
Who pays for the PG year? Unless you're getting a good offer that's a big investment to play college lacrosse.
Perhaps you’re new to lacrosse, but it is the sport of the very wealthy. Look at the rosters of the best teams, primarily private school kids with a smattering of public. You can also look at the investment made by regular folks, 5-6k a year for 10 years for kiddie lacrosse. All that gets you on average about $12k in scholarship money.
