[quote=Anonymous]Son perfectly fine all the way to 10th grade to start lacrosse. As a team sport athlete, he will pick up so many things quickly. His defensive instincts will shine as he's used to contact and playing both zone and man-to-man scheme. My suggestion simply is for him to play "wall ball" this summer. Take a stick and a ball and find a cement or brick wall. Throw and catch. Try to throw 5 times without missing it. Then 10 times. Then throw with right to left Left hand to right. The moment he gets the ability to catch and throw, he's in. If he can ultimately catch low throws and high throws and throw/catch on the run, he'll make the higher levels. At 6th grade, let him enjoy the game with his friends. When he tries out for a team, merely tell him to hustle and pay attention during the drills. As a referee, I know that coaches will take 20 coachable kids over 15 lax bros. Good luck! [/quote]
