[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible for a kid to play lacrosse for the love of the game. My son has been playing for a couple of years and loves the game. Unfortunately, the focus on college recruiting, and the competitiveness that comes along with it, brings so much pressure. [/quote] Sure. He just has to pick a spot where he can actually play. Even at the better programs there are kids who colleges really aren't all that interested in because they are too small, too slow and/or not athletic enough. The percentage of the kids that match this description increases as you get further away from the "power" programs. There's a "Gold Rush" atmosphere surrounding high school lacrosse these days as better than average high school athletes, and their parents, have discovered lacrosse is a ticket to schools that would ordinarily be beyond their reach. Most of these kids would have no chance of being recruited to play basketball or football. [/quote]
