Honestly, my kid was a goalie, we thought briefly about playing the game (college+lax recruiting) and quickly realized we also were late. This thought process happened in 10th grade. Her peers were on club/travel teams since elementary…and several had commits lined up by junior year.
The amount of $ you’d spend on this is totally not worth the scholarships that are realistically available. There just isn’t that much money for lacrosse.
Better to spend it on test prep, if chasing merit is the goal. It’s totally fine to look for lax programs in colleges you target, but don’t go down the recruiting path - recipe for disappointment at this stage.
Just mho.
