50/60 % is good money, but Just because your daughter didn't get a full ride, it doesn't mean they don't exist!! They are rare but they do exist! The coach will let you know where u stand if you give them a little push back on their offer.

how many Blue Chip kids are there?

12 scholarship spots, roster of 30, equally split that's .40 award. Very tough to pin 100% to a 9th or 10th grade commit with so many variables ahead of them. We have seen some big swings from Freshman to Sophmore year as coaches award more cash to stellar freshman who were on the low end of scholarship on the way in. The big programs have nothing but studs so everyone has to get something. Probably a better chance of getting the full ride to a weaker team that will have to overpay a top player to get the commit. Think NY Mets!

Again just another db parent who has no idea what they are talking about. Name the school she is pressuring kids to go to, or the school that some kid went to that they really did not want to. Have been thru the recruiting process with her , my daughter had many different options and CR personally told me that she stays away from recommending one school over another. All of you who think a kid should base their choice of school strictly on the schools World News ranking are clueless.Your kid should pick the school that fits the best on many different criteria , location, size , academics, cost, social factors and yes lacrosse if they plan on playing.

50/60% IS WHAT THE CREAM OF THE CROP GET

Apparently your kid was not a blue chip player...

I guess there are different definitions of Blue Chip.

More like 75% for top players.

But then someone is getting .05 to balance it out. How many girls on Northwestern you think are there with just .05? hmmm

Northwestern carries closer to 40 players. The school is VERY expensive and only offers "need based" financial aid. Similar to Ivies w their financial aid. 60k tuition per year with little athletic $ and no academic $. Quarter of a million bucks...ouch!

You do realize there are kids on every D1 lacrosse team that don't get any athletic money at all, right??

If you make the team and contribute, maybe some money comes your way next year.

Very true! Most people don't realize that there are a lot of kids on the roster who are only receiving Academic or Financial Money! Furthermore there are many kids who's parents have plenty of money and are more than happy to pay full tuition for Duke, Northwestern,ND etc... They don't share in any athletic money. FYI The coaches will give the impact players (Blue chip) a much bigger piece of the pie! Most top programs don't play more than 15-17 in any meaningful time! Those are the kids getting the Athletic lions share!

Team 4??? Good luck with that. The only thing you will be getting for sure is a bill from YJ. If she is on team 4 she is at the bottom of the top 80 in her age group just on that club not to mention all the other clubs in that age group and the 4th team I on YJ isn't very good. I wouldn't get your hope up. Also team 4 won't get very much exposure.

There are over 100 women's D1 lax programs! There is a good chance if you are on team 2,3 or 4 that you can get athletic money. especially if you are the big fish in the small pond! There are team 4 kids going to Pace getting more $ than Team 1 kids going to Notre Dame, Duke etc..

Even on YJ 4th team that girl would be top 100 in her age group on the island. There are no other competitive clubs beside TG's and a 4th team YJ would make their 2nd team. At least there is movement in YJ. My daughter started on the 4th team, moved to the 3rd team her second year and played on the second last year. As girls develop their skills increase. Most girls who were great early top out at an early age and drop down. That's the toughest part for parents; recognizing that the sun is setting on their daughter's once promising lax career. All dreams of certain scholarships fade to black and they're left hoping she makes varsity by 10th grade. You are right, the early entries to the Hornets think its a lifetime roster spot

4th YJ team - really? They get blown out by the first and 2nd teams of at least :4 other clubs on LI - some kids on 4th YJ teams can barely throw and catch - but their checks clear. And no wonder why the checks keep coming with those sorts of promises from CR. Hang in there keep sending checks - your daughter will do great.

The top 2 TG, Elevate and Liberty teams - yes all 6 of those teams would beat any 4th YJ team and there are other clubs as well but those are a given.

And there is the problem kids going to Pace to play lacrosse with a $50,000 price tag where they let kids in with a 950 SAT. If your daughter EVER has the chance to go to Duke or ND throw her stick away and send her!!!
