[quote=Anonymous]He'll be fine and will pick it up quickly given his other sports. Tell him to ignore any kids who may talk down to him as a new kid - hopefully he won't experience this but our DS did (now being recruited for college lax, all divisions). He should play wall ball daily.  He'll be fine with all his football and soccer skills.

One thing that kids who play football and lacrosse have to know is you don't need to play "agressively" but learn to play "smart" - it will look aggressive to observers though.  Also it's important for kids who played football to not drop the shoulder (and lift it up) when engaging with an opponent - as someone who knows zilch about football, I'm not sure if that makes sense but that was how our DS has described situations when he's had a collision with another player  - our DS never played football but has seen several HS kids who play both concuss themselves doing this and concussions in lax are not nearly as frequent as in football.

Good luck to your son. Lax is fast-paced and fun to watch.[/quote]
