Hi, my son is currently in 8th grade and I am looking into sending him to a prep school if possible. My question is, how does a sport like lacrosse factor into admission? I have red that it is a hook, but how so and how much so? Would I have to contact the coach or would the school simply know that my son plays lacrosse and not much more about that? He is quite gifted and plays on the best team in area, but seeing as he is just now in 8th grade, I don’t really have any film to send to a coach for him. Could someone please help me understand this process? Thanks
