Totally agree. We're not raising a professional lacrosse player. We want a well-rounded hard working child who leverages lacrosse to get into a great school. Lacrosse all year round would only result in burnout...at least in our kid. I won't speak for yours. Good luck.


I would not suggest opting out of other school sports. That written, many kids play weekend ball in the winter or in fall seasons in addition to playing a school sport. I'd rather see my kid play some box in summer or over those fall and winter weekends or breaks than more field. A lot of the field offerings including club ball in the fall isn't helping kids get any better. Box is also a fun diversion. Most kids who play it like it a great deal and consider it quite different from the field game.


I think that makes perfect sense. Box will improve them in many ways for field and it may help prevent burnout. As long as they don't combine to be year round. Again, that's my opinion in regards to my son and not anyone else's.
