[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hearing about 2030 teams reminds me how young these kids start, can an 8th grader catch up if he comes to the sport later?[/quote]

Not as an offensive player.  As a defensive player probably.  As a goalie or FOGo, no way?[/quote]

Paul Rabil started lacrosse at age 12.  Anyone who says its too late is just uninformed.  The difference is hard work.  If your kid is a good athlete and puts in the stick work/wall ball and gets involved they absolutely can.  It's all about the athlete and their desire to get better.  My daughter started in 8th grade and is playing in college...a good college.  My son started in 7th grade and is on track to do the same thing.  It's never too late to find a passion go for it.  If it is just fun, great.  If it becomes the thing your kid wants to do more than anything, get a good rebounder and a bucket of balls and you'll find them in the backyard rain or shine.[/quote]

I agree a kid can start lacrosse in 8th grade and have fun and maybe even get good enough to be a player with a lot of practice and enthusiasm but only if the kid has a good deal of athleticism. I think the old Paul Rabil example is a little old given he's in his mid 30's. You're talking about a 25 year old example. Rabil is also 6'3" and every bit of 200 lbs+.  [/quote]

Agree with you here, but Rabil wasn't 6'3 200 lbs+ at age 12.  :)[/quote]
