Oh my gosh! That's amazing! The University of Duke!


Duke University; lord this forum has turned into a complete joke. Everyone is so quick to jump on others and bring nothing but negativity. Your poor kids.

You don't know my kids, but you'd know how completely wrong you are if you did. The last thing they need is your sympathy. Great job getting it right on the second go with Duke. Negativity? If that's what you want to call reality, so be it. Just because you won't look at it, doesn't mean it's not there. Go look up some stats, there is a blog on this site, to see if the investment in all this fun is really sensible. Of course you are going to justify the amount of lacrosse time you allow your son to play. And, of course he loves it all and will be afforded a greater chance of success the more he plays. Show me the stats that somehow justify the increasing commitment seemingly required of youth lacrosse players. Sorry to bring you down, but I care as much about what you think as apparently you do about what I think. I do care that your kid could get burnt out and lose the joy for the sport.


Sir you obviously do not know my son as well. I think you are being completely irrational to assume ALL kids fall into the category of Lacrosse Fatigue. It exists we are all aware just like in al sports; however, with my son we have excellent communication, he has a love for the game, he wants to compete at a high level....so why is it so wrong with giving him that experience? After each mini-camp/game etc. we talk; are you having fun, is this something you want to continue to do and so on. I think it is important to have this open dialogue with your son and if he were to say "Dad I am tired or this is no longer fun" guess what.....we stop!!!! This is not difficult if you have that type of relationship with your child. So SORRY TO BRING YOU DOWN, but many more kids enjoy this experience than not!! If this is not for your son hopefully he shared that with you and you made changes. I for one have seen my sons love for the game intensify as we travel from city to city enjoying what other areas of the country have to offer in terms of a learning experience. This format for us; at least, is not all about lacrosse. Sorry you disagree but again we are all different.

Sir?
