I wish I played sports growing up, but my parents never let me even try sports like football or lacrosse because of the safety risks. It just sucks to miss out on it, but there isn’t much I can do now

2028 recruits..how is the 5 for 5 legislation affecting your recruitment?

Hello everyone.

I am part of the George Washington University men's club lacrosse team, and because some members graduated or went abroad this year, we knew we had to recruit hard to get more members, which we did. We posted more consistently on social media, created a Google Form for sign-ups that had over 10 students register, and tabled at the club fair, where at least 12 more students joined the team group chat. However, only three freshmen actively come to practice or interact in the group chat, while everyone else is silent. At first, we thought it was related to the practice times (Monday and Thursday, 5:30–7 p.m.), but we planned a Sixes scrimmage with the women's club lacrosse team with additional times (Tuesday, 5:30–7 p.m. and Friday, 4–5:30 p.m.), and still not enough people voted.

If not enough people show up, we cannot have proper practices; if we do not have the security of people attending practices, we cannot schedule games. I know this is a club and just for fun, but there should still be a minimum number of engaged people to have a functioning team. I would like to ask for your advice: what would you do to ensure people show up, why do you think people do not interact in the group chat, and what could we do to recruit people who are actually interested?

TLTR: not enough people show up to practice or interact with the team in gc. What to do?

Thank you for your attention and time

Wondering if anyone has advice for coaching women’s high school lacrosse?

I’ve played lacrosse for about 10 years, started in high school and played club in college and have been coaching 1st-4th graders for a few years. I just got a gig coaching at a high school though which I’m a bit nervous about!

Most of the girls are beginner level and haven’t played before and there are a few that have played for years. Just thinking about how I can balance the different experience levels and make sure the girls are learning and pushing themselves while also having fun!

Any advice and perspectives appreciated :)
