Uhh, they are both schools of thought. No fact on either side. All anecdotal. However, isn't it funny that Lacrosse is the only sport where you have this thought process. Top, Basketball kids are not told by the likes of Coach Cal, "make sure you play Lacrosse in the Spring". Are they? No, never. Is Sabin telling his top football recruits to play lax in the spring? NO. Are top Baseball, Golf, Tennis, Swimming, recruits told to play lax in the spring so they'll get "better" at their sports? NO. Only in Lacrosse should you play "Football" in the fall to get better at Lacrosse. Where is the logic? Why are none of these other coaches in other sports saying these things? HS aged athletes should play what they like. If its three sports, great. If it's one, that's great too.
Now to be clear, I am talking about HS aged athletes only. I agree little kids should be trying different things. If for no other reason than the over use issue.
