[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it makes you feel any better, my daughter was straight B teams until she tried out for Capital and made blue. She tried out the first time in fourth grade after moving gear and playing one season in rec. We didn’t do anything crazy, like get a personal trainer or strength and conditioning coach. We did spend a little on some one-on-one lessons (a lot more in high school though). However, never more than once a month when the weather was warm. The biggest thing we did. was watch her go through puberty.  She is now a division, one lacrosse player, while many others that were in the same club, and on the A-Team in middle school are either not playing or at a lower level. There’s actually more opportunities with boys to do this since there are so many more teams, and moving around is the norm.

Your child will rise to the level, more or less, where they should be at. If I was to recommend anything, it is one on one position specific coaching lessons. Not only did they get better with that type of attention, but it is its own CrossFit workout.[/quote]

I second this. ⬆️ - Also a D1 lax parent. My daughter was on B teams until high school. I have seen WAY too many kids start too intense too young and burn out. So much burn out and injuries by the time they get to high school. A lot of them ended up quitting or dialing way back in high school.

We just had our daughter play seasonal rec sports and camps, stay active and practice her wall ball. We noticed the skills gap beginning in middle school and had her join a lax club at the end of 6th grade and occational 1-1 lessons starting in 8th grade. And she was recruited D1 by the end of September her junior year. If she is athletic and likes sports the rest will fall into place. [/quote]
