[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How hold is your son? Does he have any experience playing lacrosse? Does he know the basic stick skills? Has he played on any team before? If he is still learning how to play, then choosing a rec program is a great place to start. Rec teams play against other rec teams in their league. If you want something more challenging, pick a club team. They come in all kinds of skill levels, but until you reach Elite level. teams are mostly coached by Dads. Dad coaches also come in many different varieties, but you may face classic daddy-ball when they are coaching their own sons. Most teams, whether rec or club have to travel somewhere to play against other teams. Some teams travel to tournaments within their owns state or to nearby states. Some Elite teams travel farther to compete with other Elite teams from around the country. There are also clubs that are created just to form tournament teams and travel near and far to compete with other teams. Knowing more about what you are looking for your son, will help point you in the right direction.[/quote]

My kid is a 2010/rising 6th grade boy.  He's played a lot of informal backyard lacrosse, with kids who play on teams, and he's gone to camp, but hasn't been on a team.

I think in theory rec is the right level for him this year, but haven't found a rec team that doesn't have Sunday games which doesn't work for us.   However, even if we find that, I'm wondering what happens if he decides he likes it and wants it to be his primary sport.  I don't love the idea of travel, because of both time and money.

We're in MoCo, and could also do DC, or PG  VA would be hard.[/quote]
