Is This the Best U13 Player in the World?

christian marshall

Remember this kid’s name. I’m pretty positive he’ll raise a few eyebrows with this video and he’ll probably commit to an ACC school by the time recess is over today. Seriously, watch this video!

Adrenline had this to say about the All-Star:

No one at Adrenaline has ever seen a 7th grader utilize a move like this at this age…nor have we ever seen anyone, at any age, do it this FLUID.

    i dont understand why people are talking about stick checks….noone even landed a check on the stick…anyone whos played the game for a while knows the stick can be brought back behind the back, and complete the swim move with even a shallow pocket…give the kid credit to set up those moves 5 yards from the net…

    Swim dodges dont stop working at high school dont know what your watching?… Whys everyone hating the kid made a sick play

    The kid has great talent and potential, but I agree with Boggert about how he never changed hands. If he works hard and develops his off hand he will be killer in the next levels. He was FLUID!!!!

    He is ok, but I had a few 8th graders that were steps above with wicked shots.

    Really hope he keeps his shit together. 13 is where you either learn to keep it or lose it. Hopefully he has some good pillars in his life.

    Swim dodge works at U13 b/c kids are many times 4 or 5 inches taller than their opponents, but that stops working in HS and thus doing it constantly in games is a bad habit to get into.  Not to mention hanging his stick and shooting sidearm, but the behind the back was sick. Not to take anything away from him, as he looks like a confident player with good field presence, but a lot changes between U13 and U17.  I would have been more impressed if he dodged and went lefty rather than force everything back to his dominant hand.  Good looking athlete none the less.

    P.S. How about the GOALIE!! Solid save and great great great clear.

  11. danny on July 19, 2012 at 12:28 am

    hes rele not that good its just cause you are playing kids in nevada if he cam to maryland he would have gotten shat on!!

      The U13 Adrenaline tournament was in Maryland. He plays on the West Coast
      Starz. This was against east coast talent. I  have coached Christian since the5th grade. He has played in multiple tournaments outside of Nevada and isconsistently the best player on the field. He matches his skill with hard work.Don’t be a hater  just because you can’t do something someone  else can.Enjoy it for what it is.  There will be a lot more of this to come if he decidesto play lacrosse instead of football.

         cool Coach D do you dress him in the morning too?

  12. Ralax7 on July 18, 2012 at 8:27 pm

    • CharmCityLax on July 18, 2012 at 11:05 pm

      really? they would pull THAT? give this kid credit… that was pretty unbelievable

  13. RT on July 18, 2012 at 5:51 pm

    awesome. So that kid is going to commit Freshman year to any D1 school he chooses, and I’ll be lucky to play back up on a d1 team.

    Ive pulled that move off before but it was in the open field…to do it in that close is sick

  20. Wolfpack510 on July 18, 2012 at 3:45 pm

    the move was nasty, but this video also shows some of the worst defense in lacrosse too

  21. caliWho on July 18, 2012 at 3:31 pm

    really best in teh world, lets settle down. 

  24. Wjr004 on July 18, 2012 at 3:20 pm

    that was nasty but its one clip. I agree that he has talent but you cant declare him the best U-13 in the world. Hell of a move though

  25. Tom on July 18, 2012 at 3:19 pm

    That was pretty sick, last person that Ive seen pull that off was on of the Bratton twins. But a sick move!!!

    • tom tom on July 19, 2012 at 5:32 pm

       so judging by the track record of those idiots, this kid is screwed

  26. Briansulltron on July 18, 2012 at 3:06 pm
