[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From my experience, at this age, the coaches want the parents who are willing to pay.  I have yet to see a program "cut" kids from 1st/2nd grade teams.

I think most coaches will make a clear delineation between hero ball and a ground ball vacuum.  Going after GB's shows hustle, even better if they stay on the top side of the scrum to grab the ball when it squirts out, or are ready to ride/defend the kid who does pull it from the pile.

I would suggest the best philosophy is to take a shot unless you see a teammate with a better shot, then pass it to him.  The coaches at the 3 main programs in the area we tried out all advocated for making the right lacrosse play.

Luckily we have 3 great options for lacrosse at the youngest age bracket in the DMV, you really can't go wrong with any of these programs (NL, ML, BLC)...regardless of what is posted here. [/quote]

What is the best age to begin lax try outs? My son really likes it and seems pretty good. He is currently 8 and in second grade.[/quote]
