Probably not for most kids and their parents. But if they are having fun, it doesn't matter. Many decide to specialize in lacrosse only to miss out of the joys of playing other sports for their high schools for maybe the chance to play D1 lacrosse or gain admission to maybe a better school academically that would not happen without lacrosse. In my opinion showcasing 14 year olds to college coaches is crazy. These coaches are to blame for the rise of these showcases, elite tournament teams, etc.
