Hawks is an interesting team. Only team to beat all others in the playoffs, but had a bad loss against Next Level.
Bad loss? They are 8 or 9, some are still working on getting their shoes tied tightly, There are no bad losses.
You are the problem with youth lacrosse. Might want to read below and take it a little more seriously like most of us parents who live our youth thru our children !
Not sure why many think it is too much to play club and multiple summer tournaments at this grade. If you are not on a decent club team at this grade forget about it later. If you are not doing two practices a week during season ( Spring and summer) along with some fall ball and box training in winter...well you might as well take up baseball. The players that do this along with being older are the superstars of tomorrow, the rest go to the back of the line.
It is a new day in Club lacrosse. For you all living in past, you and your child will stay there. Get with the times.
The kids at this grade should be doing 30-40 minutes of film work before bed. If you don't want your kid to be a complete failure and loser, start the film work early, really this grade is almost too late to start.
If you kid isn't already lifting 4-5 days per week, you probably should just give up on sports and send them to space camp, hopefully they will at least become an astronaut. Although, if you haven't started math and science tutoring yet, might not catch up. You might just want to have some more kids and do better next time. Thank god for this poster, it may have gone on until it was too late.
All very valid points that should be taken by any serious 2026 player in today's lacrosse environment. May I also suggest a sports physiologist to confer with once a month to make sure the motivation is there. That along with a nutritionist to make sure he is eating right!
