I’m not an expert but I’ll give you a few thoughts. With most schools it can be a significant advantage, and with some schools it is only a small help. It is possible that with a particular coach and a particular school it could be a huge help. Your son (with your assistance) will need to bring it to the attention of the coaches. I would recommend letters to the coaches, and perhaps a copy of letter of recommendation from his club coach (of course, this last thing might not be feasible). He might suggest in his letter to the coaches that he could come to the school to meet the coach at the coach’s convenience. A mere notation on your son’s application that he plays lacrosse will not do it.
