Yes the 2025 Crabs look the best in 2026 Elite. Good job boys!!!!
What will be your excuse next year when your son is in HS trying to compete against JRs and SRs? My son is on age and competes each week in the Elite division. Guess what he never does; complain about playing against older kids. In the end it will just make him better and to be honest the excuse is just that and excuse.
Interesting post. Correct, Kids will have to compete against older kids at some point. Most of those kids do not fair well against them. A select few will succeed as a Sophmore and far less as a freshman.
If your elite son son dropped to 2027, he more than likely would have far greater success than at 2026. These kids that are one year or even two year holdbacks have a huge advantage. No matter how you you want to look at it
The ones complaining the most about the 'holdback' issues in lacrosse are the ones who have sons struggling to get PT. Unfortunately these are the cards the boys have been dealt; so you have two options.....work harder or complain constantly here.
If you didnt hold your son back, that is on you. If you want him to play at top level, holdback is required in the modern lacrosse age. Look at MD lefty from BL...Whats he 25 and still slinging them in the goal.
We all have ti make choices in life. We have just decided that teaching our kid to cheat the system wasn’t right.
It’s cheating? Really. I thought this was a grade based sport? You’re cheating your kid with the example you set.[/quote]
Hard pill to swallow, but if you want your son to compete at the D1 level one day, hold him back. And if he is a very good on age, the more reason to hold him back. Better do it before it is to late and he is in HS .
