I have no issue with kids wanting to play multiple sports, if they want to they should. I will even agree that in the early years it should e highly encouraged. My issue is with all these football heads saying that somehow their kid is a better athlete or better lacrosse player than my kid because of it. It simply isn't true. Their kid may be a gifted athlete that can excel at football because they want to. However, the football does not make you better at Lacrosse. However, we can now clearly and definitively say that playing BOX will make you a better lax player. BTW almost no kid playing lax on LI except for the one QB we all know will have any shot what so ever at the NFL or NBA. With regard to the lax scholarship, you're misinformed. 60% plus at a very competitive private school has been offered to my son. You'd be shocked at what can be offered for the right kid at the right program...
