I get what you’re saying, but we’re not making these huge investments in time and money for pure enjoyment. Of course you want your kids to be happy but to waste the huge amount of time that  goes  into travel lacrosse There needs to be more of an upside than just fun.

No, you're investing for your kid to develop and compete to the best of his ability.  If that happens to mean D1, great.  If not, he'll hopefully be more functional as an adult having learned lessons of the lacrosse fields. Good grief, just because you didn't get into Harvard, it doesn't mean your life is over.

As for OP, find the best club that will take him.  If he has the stuff, they will find him.  Some kids (like Connor Shellenberger) have the stuff at fifth grade.  Others are "late bloomers," so he should stick with it.  Indeed, one of the best lacrosse players in the past 20 years was a late bloomer, and judging by his brother's college basketball career, I am starting to think it runs in the family.

I cannot emphasize enough how much the athleticism (read: speed) matters.  You can't coach speed, so don't worry about that part for your boy.  In the interim, let him enjoy competing and support him by cheering him on.
