Think about it, if the kid is good enough to make Varsity in 9th grade, in a strong lax town,chances are he should be ok getting into a good college playing lax, news flash starting kids get all the reps in practice doing 6 on 6 mostly, other kids sitting around watching. i would rather have my kid playing and being with is friends, his time will come.
lets hope his friends are not in remedial classes as well because then you can stunt his academics as well by "letting him be with his friends" treat school ball the same as you treat class work - get him to his highest level that will challenge him and make him work hard to succeed -
