After learning how much kids like mine bother you I plan to take even more satisfaction watching him dominate as a pole when the tournament season resumes. I will not be embarrassed as he uses his size to body smaller attack men. Quite the contrary I will smile from ear to ear knowing it infuriates you that my son simply does his thing against your son. How is that for honesty?


Sounds like you are you are doing the right thing for your child, He obviously isnt the smartest guy in school as he had to be held back and you didnt mention academics. Plus if he has your character,, well he will be struggling and wont go far in life. Letting him play down against younger players will be one of yours and his greatest thrills . Later in life, not so much. But he will have been a great lacrosse player dominating younger players, Well Done ! .
