Then I guess I have bigger problems that my 10 year old enjoys the circus. Makes sense.


I enjoy the circus and I'm a lot older than 10.

Yes, that his dad (you, aka Lamar Ball), when suggested he let his kid simply enjoy lacrosse, and enjoy the ride yourself, you instead suggest a circus if you want him to have fun. You don't want your kid to have fun in lacrosse? Are you looking for some sort of ROI? Running a P&L on your kid? Your kid can be the first Lax player to sign with BBB. Way to go Dad!

Lacrosse is an incredible game, no matter what level you achieve, high school, D1, D3, club, etc. Great people involved, and ask the elite they're advice.....

Can I eliminate my son as a "real blue chip athlete" if he plays soccer and lacrosse. It's not on your list. I need to be sure on how to build my "real blue chip athlete" according to an anonymous source.

You are correct, my mistake, soccer should have been included as well. My response referenced the Blue Chip Athletes (Money Sports) from the original response to the post. Great that your kid is a multisport athlete, how it should be at 10 years old.

I always found football players to be more equiped for the rigors of the game of lacrosse. You can tell the Football players from the soccer players in any GB drill.

You can always find them in the penalty box. This isnt football, you want to run full speed from 10 yards away and blast a kid then go play football. Fastest game on two feet with skill and precision stick work. That's lacrosse. You MD guys think you can bully teams all the time

Soccer players tend to use intelligence and have a higher sports IQ whereas football players are going to rely more on athleticism. It's not a tough debate. To each his own. Good teams will have a mix of both types of athletes.

This is 2026? Kids who play football and lacrosse or lacrosse and almost any other sport are fine. There is not noticeable difference on a lacrosse field between kids who play football and those who choose not to other than when you hear the stunad parent on the sideline giving bad advice because he never played lacrosse.

Might be, Recently heard a D1 coach talk about recruiting along with some general lacrosse stuff. He said he gets lots of emails/videos and only reads the first paragraph and maybe watch first 20 seconds of video, His only exception was when he saw they played football in HS too. Then he read and watched much more.

My son’s team requires a helmet, but they are not part of the dues we pay. Is it normal for helmets to be excluded from club dues?

I would say yes it is normal, because returning players that can reuse their helmets would not need to pay dues each year for a helmet they already own. New players would be required to purchase the helmet if your club requires a specific helmet, so it would be considered an additional expense, and not part of the yearly dues.

not unusual. Your guy will be able to wear that helmet for several years. Better to only pay that extra $250 once as opposed to them building into fee and pocketing the extra $ in years that you don't get a new helmet

Most club teams provide helmet and uniform. If you are returning player, the club gets to pocket the extra money as long as helmet stays the same.

If they're looking for a goalie they are not Elite or AAA. THey might be B.

You cannot compete as a team in this area at a high level without a good goalie.

One thing is for sure. The rumors were put to bed about their 2025 goalie so we know he can't be playing 2026 unless that father is a complete liar who ran his mouth out of turn.
