[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Join any rec team, and look for other training opportunities (camps, skills and speed sessions - often the same lacrosse players clubs bring in to supplement train their kids will have sessions at a local gym, ask him if he'd like to sign up with a buddy). Have him talk to his school coach about what he wants to see. It is tough to break in when there are kids who've been playing club forever, but a coachable, eager kid is worth a lot.

I hope he's not too down on himself. Rec lacrosse is a blast. It can be nice to play with kids who just love the game.[/quote]

+1  Sorry to hear about your son.  I know it is hard.  Keep in mind that there are a lot of changes that occur between middle school and high school.  Kids who are working on skills in middle school can "suddenly" seem to find their groove in high school while the red hot middle school stars lose their luster because they haven't/can't/won't develop beyond one or two plays.

Have your guy out bouncing off the house every day to hone his skills.  You may also want to see if there are any local high school or college students who would do some one-on-one coaching.  The positive interaction may help your guy keep up his confidence![/quote]
