You Are mistaken. It should and does matter. If there is no one governing the youth tournaments then they will and are becoming more dangerous and violent. I see it all the time. The coaches are recruiting older and older kids to participate.This IS done.so that they have more wins more wins equal more $. So as the hold backs are much more common then so does the playing down concept come into play.When does it stop.You Need to have a set rule for AGE not grade.
