Think that's the point with a great team that is starting to gel why bring an over sized and aged boy into this. Opens the team up for this. Not one parent on our team is happy about it it's wrong


This is why lax should do what USA hockey does. For lax, it could work like this: At the beginning of each season (lax can do a separate fall and spring/summer season if they wish), every team is required to submit their official roster to USA lacrosse with the USA lacrosse number for each kid. Each kid's USA lacrosse number is backed by his birth certificate, which is submitted when the kid first starts playing. Each team has a manager (not a coach) who for each game at each tournament will submit 4 stickers to the score keeper (or for lax, maybe the head ref) with the roster on it. The stickers are affixed to each of 4 sheets on an official USA lacrosse score sheet (carbon copies). For lax, after the game the ref can put in the score and if anyone was ejected, note that next to their name. Each teams manager gets a copy. One copy goes to the tournament organizers (or league if its a league) and one copy to USA hockey. Each club has a permanent record of every kid who has ever stepped on the field against them, and knows that the kid is age eligible. USA lacrosse will likewise have the same database for every game played. Really limits the ability to pull shenanigans that seem to often plague lacrosse.
