[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good Lord, lacrosse is screwed up. Here's the previous post, rewritten:

My son absolutely loves playing lacrosse, no matter what. And he's really good at it, but is currently getting limited playing time because he's small and young for his grade. Even though he's still just in middle school, should he quit playing forever right now because he's only considered an average player and not one of the very best in his entire school?[/quote]

I wish the original question was as ridiculous as it sounds, but just look at the posts that came after it. Minds are made up by 8th grade. I agree it's completely screwed up, but it's the nature of sports in this town. Imagine spending your whole childhood playing a sport you love only to be sitting on the bench throughout all of high school. He'll be required to play a sport, so of course he'll choose lacrosse, but will feel awful when he has to sit and watch everybody else play and contribute. The other poster was right, I can't handle the truth. I just want to help my son get where he wants to be. [/quote]

I have 2 sons that played college lacrosse. One was committed by freshman year because he hit puberty in 7th, was 6'2" freshman year and maxed at 6'4". He was a middie, played varsity all 4 years, played a top 10 D1 program.

But my "star" little guy was 5'6" freshman year. 8th grade and Freshman year sucked. But by junior year he was 5"11", maxed at 6' in college. He wrestled to get stronger and more aggressive. By junior year he was starting again and a "star" player.  He had to work harder in the gym and running to get strong and fast. He had D1 offers but he settled on a higher academic smaller sized D3 school... Butter fit all around.

I have a 3rd son, never cared too much...played JV, made varsity but rarely got in.. did not play college lax, had tons of time for volunteering, jobs, clubs. Summers were better, lax kills your summer opportunities.
