I have three kids and as a family we have fun with Club Lacrosse. We take family vacations in late July or August along with the majority of this country. Luckily our club makes a point of ceasing all activity by 2nd week of July. My kid loves the camaraderie, the competition, and the game.
Sure there are days he doesn't want to go to practice or wants to sleep in but I agree with the guys point above. Life is hard and the real world isn't going to do you favors. There is something to be learned with having a goal, busting your hump for it, and challenging yourself. My kid that plays lacrosse is a great student, plays three sports well, and for the most part is a normal 12 year old. Sure he is on an emotional rollercoaster, has all kinds of insecurities, struggles sometimes to juggle all his activities, but agree again with the guy above this is when you learn how to manage work, marriage, kids, life in general. You don't all of a sudden learn as an adult. |
