You are analyzing 5th grade lacrosse. What a weirdo.
Take up knitting. At this time most elite players are already on a good club. Training 2-3 times a week. Fall Spring Winter Summer games and tournament. New world in lacrosse. Might want to get your child up to speed. I guess there is always rec.
Elite players? You are talking about 5th graders. I'm gonna guess that this is your oldest child. So much changes between 5th grade and high school that it is a fool's errand to even discuss which players are "elite" right now. They haven't even hit puberty yet.
FYI for all of those parents of elite elementary school athletes. 10 or less kids from your current team will play lacrosse in high school. 5 or less will go onto varsity. 3 or less will play in college. Enjoy childhood, enjoy lacrosse, but don't blink too many times.
