Outside NY nearly everyone has an age cutoff that prevents 4 year olds from starting Kindergarten.

If you are going to us age the US Lacrosse guidline should be the only cutoff you use.

If you held your kid back than they should play with higher grade kids until 8th grade. This is why the US Lacrosse cuts at U-15 (Technically 8th grade should be U-14)

If you are not U-15 eligible in the 8th grade that is an entirely different problem
