[quote=Anonymous]Do which ever he thinks will be more fun.  Friends will be a key factor but sit him down and have a talk about pros and cons of both.  Consider (a) odds of making team/varsity.  Playing with friends might not be so much fun if they are on varsity and he is JV.  (B) off season time commitments (c) coaches and their philosophy about playing time and their temperament.

Depending on how competitive the teams are and how gifted your kid is athletically it may be unlikely he will ever make varsity, but that should not stop him from playing and having fun.

As an aside - the interest in lacrosse might be based somewhat on his personal view on where he ranks with the soccer kids at school.  A lot of this stuff depends on the school. He might be a top player at one school and a kid with no chance to make the team at another school.

Finally- from a future college app standpoint neither is likely to matter.  What schools look for is a passion for something.  They want will rounded and interesting entering classes - not so much interest in well rounded kids. [/quote]
