Trying out for teams like this also help prepare for a cut throat final roster shuffle on club teams, prep for the challenge of high school tryouts, and believe it or not to meet other players and have fun. My personal observation from the tryouts was that it was cool to watch a group of girls that love lax, just playing lax with no coaches bearing down on them, no scoreboard, and no parents to yell from the sidelines. For anyone who bashes people for “the money grab trap”, remember if you’re on this board, you’ve already spent too much money where the financial ROI for women’s lacrosse abysmal…but if you’re trying to build your daughters strength for a harsh world, the ROI can be priceless.
