100%. My kid was late to the game. Still Club lacrosse was 5k/year and tournaments and travel another 5 at least. Over a couple of years that’s a lot of $. And since there aren’t full scholarships, it wasn’t a good investment. My kid liked it for a few years, played competitively and moved on. Our close friends had a Div I kid who went all the way. Still wasn’t worth it financially. My friend said by the time you added up the morning routines at Div I school, afternoon, travel etc, their Div 1 kid was making less than minimum wage. Kid was #11 nationally when recruited. Ended up playing 3 years in college then stopping.
