Can you say more about this? My third grader is very similar to the OP’s son. I’ve been trying to convince him to try lacrosse and he says maybe next year. He likes soccer, but he seems to have trouble keeping track of what’s going on during a scrimmage or game and how to position himself. His older brother started travel soccer in third grade and is much better at this. Even at age 9, he could thoughtfully explain the runs he was making and reflect on decisions he and his teammates made during the game. He watches soccer games and plays the FIFA video game, neither of which interest my younger son.

I always thought lacrosse was pretty similar to soccer in terms of needing to scan the field and anticipate plays. But maybe I am wrong?[/quote]

You’re not wrong lol. Idk what pp is suggesting. I would recommend private coaching or supplemental lessons. My kids play lacrosse and both do supplemental lessons and training at the St. James. It’s been helpful in anticipating where to be and the actual game play.
