I heard recently that they were still looking for kids for this age bracket and that it was going to be a developmental team. not trying to stir anything up, just curious who we can expect to see in the spring and summer. thanks,


I would hope that any and every 2022 is a developmental team.


Parents pay a lot of money for their kids to play for 91, tomahawks, express, trueblue, havoc, etc. at the 2022 level, similar to parents who have kids at the 2021 or 2020 or 2019 level, they all go to tournaments, they all play in OBL, they all want to win and learn. I would hope lacrosse is developmental until your kid becomes Casey Powell. That said I dont see the joke in being curious about your son's competition whether he is 9 or 11 or 13. What is tue cutoff when lacrosse is no longer developmental and when it is ok to inquire about competition?


Lets look at it this way. They are third graders. Trying to size up competion at this age is ridiculous. You need for kids to learn the game of lacrosse before you worry about winning and losing. At the end of the day 99% of the kids don't care if they win or lose. If your son is playing to count wins and losses for you it is pathetic. Let the kids at least finish 6th grade. with no pressure on them. These years are meant to lead up to the years that really count. Parents that put so much pressure on the kids at this age wind up ruining the kids because they grow to hate the game.LET THE KIDS BE KIDS GO FIND A SPORT YOU CAN PUT PRESSURE ON YOURSELF TO WIN LET YOUR KID ENJOY HIS CHILDHOOD IT GOES BY QUICKLY
