My 2025 son is a very late bloomer and hasn’t hit his spurt yet. He is about 5 5 130 and will likely end up about 6 foot according to doctor. Voice hasn’t changed yet. He probably has the talent to play mid level D1 according to his coaches but they said because of his size he might get overlooked this summer. Club coach suggested that if he really wants to play D1 that he plays for a 2026 club team and do a PG year after HS which would make him a 2026 recruit. This seems like cheating to me but I see how that can make sense. Thoughts? Thanks
If playing lacrosse is that important to your son then I would suggest the PG route. Reclassing to me is ridiculous because you have to change schools and get separated from your friends. Let your son graduate HS and see what his options are at that point. If you reclass, then you should reassess your club team. You don't have to stay with the same organization. A reclassed player has a physical advantage and you should be on a top team. What the coach is suggesting sounds wrong, you can't just say you're going to do a PG year at some point in the future. It doesn't work that way.
