What are the Top 3 Private High School Leagues for Boys Lacrosse Players?
Student-athletes who want to play at the top levels in college, have a big decision to make. Where to play in high school. Approximately 1200 high school programs across the continent, the power has shifted from public programs to private schools. Fortunately, there are many ways up the mountain and many of the coaches we talk to, say, "find a school that fits you, don’t choose a school for their lacrosse program.” That said, little boys growing up laxers, gravitate toward a handful of familiar names. Of course there’s ebb and flow but, many of those names remain at the top due to strength of schedule. By no means the only places you should look, here’s a quick synopsis of three of the best-known private boys lacrosse leagues.
