Agree, do many feel that in 7th grade if a kid is playing football or soccer in their middle school, to play in these many fall lacrosse tournaments is good? maybe one just to get their stick in their hands but reading how many some of these teams play, do those kids play other sports? I know my son's middle school football team started the first week of school and went until the first week of Nov and they practiced or played every day and many Sats, as soon as it ended middle school basketball started. Isn't that what middle school kids are suppose to do if they are capable of make their school teams What happened to those kids who play football/soccer in the fall, basketball in the winter and lacrosse in spring, is that out the window.
