I’ll be in the surf at Cincoteague trying to land a striped bass.

I liked watching my kids play. But the parents were as much fun to observe. But this was the days before clubs when the Mater Dei kids, all of whom were GPrep  or GZA bound, played  the hated Landon Bears middle schoolers.

I was more familiar with lacrosse than most having watched the Princeton Tigers play as a kid and then the Orange. A couple of times as an Undergrad a group of us went down to see the Onondaga play in Nedrow, NY in the box. At time outs they would drink beers. They kicked the hell out of one another. (“Slashing? That wasn’t slashing!!!) Lots of blood everywhere.

My opinion is that the best training for lacrosse —- beyond stick skills —- is basketball. If you understand Picks, cuts, assists, playing defense by backing up, two man plays, sets, you are miles ahead. And the very best thing is a wall to spend hours throwing and catching right and left handed.
