The jealousy is pretty sad considering it is from parents (who most likely never played the game and cheer when their kid bull dodges thru 6 defenders to score without ever looking to dish off to a wide open attackmen.... FYI, coaches cut those kids later on). Parents whose focus should be on 'Is my son enjoying playing lacrosse?' or 'Is my son improving his skills and lacrosse IQ?'.
And maybe even a better thought at 4th grade since all boys don't mature at the same rate....'Is the club my son is on this year the right fit for him from a developmental standpoint before a competitive standpoint?'
Let's hold off on pounding our chests for a few years.....you want it to be serious when your son gets near recruiting age, I'm all for it. At 4th grade though, the pressure you are putting on your kid will only turn him off from the game and make him want to quit. Then who will you live vicariously through?!?!?
