That said, plenty of kids can carve their own path from other schools. Playing for a top club helps.

Yes, in AA it's a few public schools that dominate. Then they get wrecked by a private one. I have to say the organization of private school lax has been a lot better then our public school. So you're already part of the team activities.

Agree on carving. Hustle, get your speed up, keep in shape. The only kids who were not getting play time on my son's team were mostly due to conditioning and strength. Hard to do great lax skills if you can't get to the ball.
