[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At that age all players should play all positions. Work on skill development. However fun is the first and main priority. Coaching at that age group kids played all positions. [/quote]

Our area is extremely competitive already with 9U and it's not even close to equal playing time and many kids only play certain positions.[/quote]

As much as I detest the notion of a highly competitive 9U team, it is worse that they do not offer equal playing time.  My advise would be to run away from a team and club like that.  If your son is serious about lacrosse later on toward 8th-9th grade, they can always try out for and make a highly competitive team that plays in top events.  Having been around the sport a while, I would guarantee that 80% or more of players on this team are not on the team in 5 seasons.  By HS it will be less than that.  Focus on a team where all kids play and all kids play all positions even step in the cage for at least a game.  [/quote]
