I think only varsity status teams can award scholarships, and such. Title 9 has really prevented lacrosse from becoming varsity in the south & northwest. The crazy thing is that most big guy club teams, perform better than the meat of the varsity teams out there. Vandy, GT, UT, UGA, Florida, could easily go varsity & are run like varsity team; you have 50-60 men rosters with 20 that actually play, full coaching staff, $100,000 budget, travel crew... Some like Michigan are funded by the varsity athletics, but don't receive scholarships & the other perks as NCAA athletes.

But most of the big guys it costs to play. Like Auburn's cost to play a year is $1,200- $2,000, SDSU its $2,200-$3,000, Colorado State $3,000+, and some guys only play one year.....

 

For some teams its definitely worth it though if you're really into it. If you want to play at an SEC school, I'd highly recommend UGA. When we traveled down to play them they were really cool guys, I wouldn't mind buying a beer for them. Their execution and flow was really impressive, and they were very organized. The best thing to do to get help as far with admissions, is to go their camps & summer leagues if they have them, & meet all the players, officers, coaches, and go in as a complete hard charger. And just attack & work hard in the camps & games, and get after it. That's we and most teams look for- humble athletes, that are highly motivated & hungry to learn - as we are.

We run unto HS players every now and then, that are really cocky, and haven't been exposed to college play yet & think they can walk onto Navy or Virginia because they've score a few goals and such, and placed in a state championship. But honestly, players like that can only learn so much, & only peak in high school- when they get to college, they get a huge wake up. The most successful players in college are the guys that always look for ways to get better & that's something the coaches look for. If they really like you, they can definitely find a way to get you into the university. Especially UGA, because they many resources.

funny you mention UGA so highly, I know they have one of, if not the best program in the south, that is the school I want to know most about, I don't have the type of GPA they averaging, and I was hoping if I talked to the team president he might be able to do a little something, I still have time to get my grades up some more, but I was just kind of curious as to how they might be able to help, I might email the coach/head hancho and see if there are any summer camps that they hold, the only one I know that does that in the club world is GT, but its still worth a shot...I'm not sure I'm on their talent level or not, but I think if you've got the money you're basically on the team (at least as long as you're decent)

I also didn't agree with them shooting on goal with about 30 seconds left when they were up 21-2. Sorry guys, i dont care if that was ur third line or what and they wanted to score, but that wasn't very classy in my opinion.

welcome to D2... /sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> ...nice to know that there is a team that has the same views as our coach has tried to put into our team

*UTK's recuits, that are from Centennial

 

Most of utk's past roster is made of Centennial alum, or at least the 0s (officers). Good guys too, we're working on a few projects with them that hopefully will turn out good... I also want to see utk & vandy kick ###### this year in the league

hey andrew, do you know what kind of pull, as far as admissions goes, college clubs teams get at the bigger schools, if any?

I play for Baylor and we play St.Benedicts in 11 days and i was just wondering if they were supposed to be good or not and how is Ridgeway because they only lost by 2 goals to Lausanne or whatever

read what lax4life said about ridgeway

whats with all this baylor love this year

well I'm on the team, and I'm really proud of how the team played sat. at the jamboree, our defense played great- holding mccallie to less goals than they scored against ravenwood, and our new goalie had a great day- he played better than I've seen him play all fall/winter, he was just awesome sat...and I'm an attackman talking about the other half of the field, our offense will come along and I think we should do pretty good this year..

Lausanne won 6-4

were you there? did ridgeway look a lot better than they were last year, or were they both bad?

Scores

Raven vs Mccallie 2-6 Mccallie won

Ravenwood beat Baylor 4-1

Baylor beat Webb Bell Buckle 2-1

Mccallie beat Baylor 4-0

I dont know the scores of the Webb Buckle games with Maccllie and Ravenwood but i do know Bell Buckle lost both by at least 5

last year baylor was there, obviously mccallie, webb bell buckle, sig. mtn., bagataway (atlanta club), ravenwood, and others that I can't remember
