[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as we're talking IAC lacrosse, may I ask the experts to weigh in on whether my DC is destined to ride the bench? Just transferred in to one of the schools in middle school, came from a school where he rocked it and was the best player on the team by far. New school not so much. He is supremely skilled, but small and young for his grade, which seems to hold him back. He doesn't play aggressively enough, which seems to be largely what he is lacking. Is there time for him to catch up? Does the playing field become more level in high school, or since he's not on top now, will he always be considered one of the average players? Have you all seen strong, but not the best, players rise off the middle school bench to be starters in high school? I just hate to see him so disappointed and also wondering how much time and money we should continue to put toward the effort. For the record, he absolutely loves playing, no matter what.[/quote]

You want the truth?  You can't handle the truth...

But here goes.  If he is not a star on the middle school team, there is no way he will catch up.
It'll be the reverse.  Many "stars" in middle school will find that they will struggle to get playing time in JV, and many will never make tvarsity.  You are in lacrosse country, where toddlers are running around with lacrosse sticks,  and the IAC, next to the Baltimore conference, the most competitive in the nation.

Plus there will be some top lacrosse kids come in at 9th grade and further push your kid down the ranks.[/quote]
