This story will make you laugh, but it’s actually quite sad… A college lacrosse player has revealed that he’s been sidelined indefinitely, all due to the size of his head!

The Wheaton College lacrosse team held their first game of the season on Wednesday, but freshman goalie Alex Chu wasn’t part of the lineup… 

“One of the issues I have is a rather wide head,” said the 19-year-old per CNN

Chu’s head is more than 25 inches around, but the largest certified helmets for college players are 24 inches. Without a certified helmet, Chu is not allowed to play.

“Lacrosse is such a big part of my life, it’s been hard not playing, this is longest time since I’ve picked up the sport that I’ve gone without playing,” said Chu.

In high school, Chu got a waiver for this helmet but it’s not approved for play at the college level. The young goalie and the team are now waiting to see if a company will make a bigger helmet for him. 

“I really do hope that from all of this I get to play. This is something I really want, something I have tried really hard to get.”

“I feel awful for Alex, but we have some leads right now that we’re working on to try and find a solution to the problem,”  coach Kyle Hart told  WHDH.

We feel awful for the poor guy too…
