Hard to believe that on the MD section of this site there are complaints about age...

Half of the players (in some cases more than half) on madlax and crabs and the rest are reclassified in 8th grade. Effectively being held back so they can compete against younger kids to look better and hopefully get a D-1 spot.

And you are complaining about a few age appropriate U-13 players because they are in 8th grade due to the school cut off dates???

Being in 8th grade doesn't make a kid bigger or stronger or faster. Being held back a year specifically to compete against kids that are a year younger is what MD players (and now some Philly players) are famous for; you invented it.
