      I am a senior in high school and I play lacrosse. When should I commit to a college if I have multiple offers. I do not want to be rude and I want to be honest with the coaches. At the same time, I still don’t know where I want to attend to play. Thank you so much for your help.

      Being honest with coaches is always a good policy. From a coach’s viewpoint, they have offered you and are waiting for a response. They always have a “backup plan,” that is, another player who they will offer if you turn them down. So, the longer this takes you, the chance of that offer no longer being there increases. I would do this. Write down all the schools you are considering on a piece of paper or spreadsheet. List the pros and cons of each school. Things like: the coach, the team’s success, my chances of playing right away, too close to home or too far away, the facilities, your intended major, urban or rural location…..anything that is important to you. Seeing it on a piece of paper can give you clarity, and I’ll bet it will eliminate a few of them. You are never going to feel absolutely 100% that you made the right choice, but an educated choice is always a better choice. If you know a student or student athlete at any of the schools, ask them. You are in a nice situation: many choices. But to be honest, coaches cannot wait forever, so keep that in mind. And……don’t forget to seek your parent’s advice.
