Re: Girls 2026 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region TheBackOfTheCage #366270 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A I film parts of games to to be able to remember these days for I’ll miss them when they are over and my baby girl is all grown up. Nothing to do with putting together videos or possible recruitment. Just to hopefully show her kids their mother playing one day. Everyone does things for their own reasons- good on them.

After that it doesn’t really matter. Let’s leave this one alone. As has been said before, this age group has a lot of good goalies and that is fun to watch. Like Reply Quote

The previous poster said the league should just be “club” teams. If it’s a high school League then why should it only be clubs teams ? Like Reply Quote

Big school w ok academics or smaller schools w better academics and smaller lax programs.

If we go big and decide it’s not what she is looking for academically/not a great fit, how easy is it to transfer in HS? If it’s the same as the boys and they are put on varsity they can’t transfer inside the MIAA without some type of exemption. I’m only 90% sure about that rule. Trust but verify. Like Reply Quote

Re: Girls 2026 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region TheBackOfTheCage #366965 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Colleges want variety, different backgrounds. I say this because academics will get you to a certain level but then there’s a glass ceiling. Choose wisely and maybe think about the happiness of your kids over the best academics. (Not saying send your kid to a dense kids school) but just weighing Bryn Mawr over like a RPCS. Both schools full of homework junkies and mathletes but RPCS might be a bit more of a happier place.

Put academics first and the rest works out. If they are happy, they will perform best in all aspects. If it is strictly about recruiting, you could make an argument that public school is the best options as some high-academic schools are pushing coaches to bring in more public school kids. That said, for most kids, especially those in baltimore proper, that is probably not the best long-term life decision. Like Reply Quote

The fact that parents are choosing schools based on the success of a lacrosse team is crazy. Academics are going to define the success of your kids future not whether they won games as a high school sophomore. Like Reply Quote
