For those of you who think that LI boys only play lacrosse all year, you’re mistaken. All the boys are encouraged to be 3 sport athletes. This rivalry between states and chest-pounding over who is better seems a little crazy. If you enjoy lacrosse and your kid has potential, better competition should be welcomed. And as time goes on, hopefully many of these boys will play together at some collegiate level. They could all be teammates at some point. Enjoy the sport and the journey. Don’t worry about holdbacks. If your kid is playing bigger, faster kids, he will get better. Bigger, faster kids playing younger kids most likely will not. And if all this nonsense gets to you, stay off this website. It helps. Winning is great, but it isn’t everything. Good luck at your tourneys this weekend.
