Preparation for future lacrosse life. Blink of an eye and these boys will be in high school. Some playing junior varsity and some playing varsity. 40-plus on the team and playing time could be that much more limited. Do they still have fun, do they still train hard and continue to develop, do they still eagerly await for their opportunity to play in the games? Fast forward, the one's that continue to enjoy the sport, work hard and remain committed, will play on a college team with 60-plus players, and the same things can be said. Stop counting minutes and look at the overall experience and development.
