Kids sense middle school club lacrosse doesn't matter if its not fun. Since lacrosse and school is their whole world, its confusing. Then they have enough of being told about the next level and what ifs. They dont care. They just want to play with their friends and have fun. If they are good enough and grow, HS lacrosse will be awesome. If not, then MM will make them world class miserable robot cone dodging mini a-holes.
