This kid plays on so many teams it's beyond nuts. Taz, dukes, eclipse, primetime. And not sure who else

Saw the kid play in Bethpage yesterday for Eclipse. He was playing up with 2023. He's probably a very good 2024, but average 23. He has skill around the cage, but lacks speed and didn't really hustle for gb's or play much defense. He might have been intimidated by older kids, I guess. His dad wasn't bad. Directed the kid the whole time, but he wasn't loud or obnoxious like I've heard. I noticed he only pays attention when his kid is on the floor and only films his kid, not the rest of the team. Not sure what all the fuss is about.

I just find it a little strange that people are so concerned what team or teams this 5th grade child is on. I repeat 5th grade child. I got an idea. Worry about your own kid and your own family. How bout that. Mind your own business.

How about passing the ball. That's my business. I spend a lot of money for travel and nobody is correcting the problem. Why don't you mind your business!

Good player but not the best attackman in this age group.

Target is on his back by posting that highlight video and naming him "The chosen One."
To each is own. Good kid and good player at 5th grade.
Couldn't hurt that he plays for an already solid squad. We see how he looks this spring/summer before he is anointed.

Who is the best attackman in this age group?

Good luck. This dad names the kid the "chosen one" in his highlight videos. I doubt the dad is encouraging this supposed fifth grader to pass to his non-chosen one teammates.

It's the exact opposite.

The Pack has the best attacker

Are you kidding me with that video I can think of 10 local kids just as good if not better. Good stick skills but certainly not exceptional I have 8 yr old kids doing the same tie drag. Also don't see explosive athleticism nor exceptional vision which would be differentiatiiors that are sustainable for long term elite caliber of success

if his dad really refers to him as the chosen one yikes . My suggestion to the parent who is unhappy that he dosent pass.ask your club coach why he plays on so many teams and how Is that fair to any of the players .

Not my first dance I would suggest let's see where everyone ends up in a few years . Puberty ,genetics, girls,desire, parents, coaches , overuse.,injury a lot of variables .

And you scout for whom? Oh yeah, no one, and you never played, but can rate players based on your extensive lacrosse background. You are a T-O-O-L!
