[quote=Anonymous]I would actually stay away from b teams.  My son played them and they were not helpful.  We spent so much time and money going to dumb tournaments only to play teams who we never matched up correctly against.  He would develop terrible habits and not really learn anything. Check out bethesda Lacrosse or Howard county rec leagues.  They often have clinics that aren’t too expensive.  Same with high schools.  Google “xx high school lacrosse camp 2019” and see what is out there.  My hunch is good counsel or prep would have something that isn’t  too expensive.  Also look at USA lacrosse.  They are putting emphasis on growing the game and may have clinics with scholarships.  Same with the tewaaraton foundation.

What I have seen at my son’s high school is the team will take a kid who is a good athlete.  And I almost feel like my son is penalized for having been on a b team — like the coach is aware he wasn’t good enough to play on the a team.  I wish I had said no to club lacrosse and found him speed and agility training regimens just general sports stuff.  I really believe any sport could help too.  We would have all enjoyed our weekends more.

Also google stick tricks and watch you tube videos.  Basic stand still catching/wall ball is not enough — he needs to be in the park yard working ground balls, trying crazy shots etc.

Also, the good kids treat their stick like an appendage and carry it everywhere.  Also, if money is tight, put priority on investing  in a decent stick if you can.[/quote]
