Question
I an new to lax and I just started as a senior in high school and I wanna play
in college for a club team at the school I will be attending but the team just
won the national championship so they are good so I was wondering how I
fan prepare so I have a chance at making the team even though I am new at
it

Answer
Hello Dan,
Well, this is a tough question.  The best advice I can give you is to train as hard as possible this summer.  Get as strong as possible, be in the best condition as possible and get on the wall and practice your stick skills...everyday!!!!  Hopefully by being is great shape, have good stick skills and showing the drive and determination to play lax...the coach would gladly have you on the team.
