It really depends on if your son wants to be recruited. If yes, then focusing on getting on a good travel team means playing, fall spring and summer.  The question you posed was your husband wants your son to only play one season. His skills will just not develop compared to others. It will become harder to make better teams even in MS. Yes if they can play one other sport it is good, cross country really helps with stamina. Unfortunately we live in an age where it is very hard to play more than one sport well or have the time to do it. If he is in 6th grade, then you probably have one more year but by 7thgrade, you need to decide what his goals are with regard to sports and at what level he sees himself playing at.[/quote]

I bit and read the first one, because DS is interested in lacrosse. It's dated 8/22/2012 and talks about recruiting kids who are set to graduate HS in 2013 and 2014. So, rising seniors and juniors. It also talks about some aggressive parents pushing their middle schoolers on the recruiters -- but this is key, there's no evidence that the recruiters are biting, or that Ms. Freckelsmon got anyone to sign up her tween kid.

So then I went to the 2nd article. It said that[b] 13 [/b]sophomores had given verbal commitments. Presumably, though, these depend on achieving GPA and SAT targets. So, not a huge number of sophomores.

Did I miss something?[/quote]
