but US Lacrosse has no control over the sport. They proclaim to be the governing body but how many leagues actually play by their rules. I don't believe they do so in youth lacrosse on LI. If they set a date deadline and other leagues/ tournaments continued with graduation years what would make people choose one over the other. That choice exists now. You don't like grade based don't play in the tournament...that simple.. for example US Lax has no control over young guns, Howard County league, Crab Fest etc.
