Now that the tournament season is over...do kids still move around to different teams at this age group? Does the recruiting rule changes affect this decision by clubs and kids alike ?

My guess is there will be very limited movement. Most teams are set at this grade. Your son would have to really bring it to a tryout to get a spot on one of the top teams. Im sure some parents will try to make a move for their kids because they want their kid on a winning team, not a good reason for change.

Any kids that come to the top teams are usually selected well in front of tryouts. Tryouts are to fill the other teams.

Easy answer. The clubs do not have to and should not change. All the grade based bashers act like there are not age based tournaments or leagues however, there are plenty. So take a stand and not allow your son to play in grade based and only participate in age based, but whatever the case shut up the whining about grade based.

I disagree. Seeing what took place at 9D1 I would say that an overhaul is likely. May be your best chance to make that team.

Inside Lacrosse updated their overall national rankings based on the Millon National Championship and Igloo is the new #1 and LIE really dropped.

That's myopic

Fake news! Has already been proven wrong.

What makes it myopic? The fact that there are age based and grade based leagues and tournaments is the reality. And if everyone who complains about grade based being unfair has their kids play age based, all will be right, no? Or do you want to see an age/grade/height/weight requirement league? The bottom line is you have your son play either grade or age based events. There really is no other option....is there? No myopic responses needed.

Proven wrong on the field or do you mean someone hacked InsideLacrosse.com to make Igloo the new #1?

I guess Channy saw it coming two years ago when he asked me to hold my A+ student and AA athlete back to be on the 2022 team. Thanks but no thanks.

Thank you for your not so "short "rant . A simple fix would be to age base like Youth hockey (born in 04 play 04). Contact sports before High school should be age based simple fact.

Yeh you have an A+ student AA athlete son, a super model wife and an 8 figure savings account. Wake up 😴 from your dream

Agree 100%. Now you take up the fight with every sports governing body so that this can finally get fixed. Start with football! Hockey is already done and maybe soccer too? This shouldn't take you long. Only lacrosse, football, water polo, rugby, basketball (yes contact), girls lacrosse, wrestling.....start there.

Cmon man, you are smarter than this BS sound of music solution. You have to be. Please say you are?

There are not plenty. They are few and far between

Try again. As for leagues, there is only one grade based league in MD and plenty of age based ones. Plenty of age based tournaments as well. But if you feel that there really aren't that many, start your own tournament. I am sure it will a hit with all the grade based bashers out there.

Yeah ok

No, this is exactly right... maybe hard for you to understand but when your kid is smart and athletic you don't have them repeat a grade in school.

It's obvious you held your kid back. You should own it instead of trying to justify it

Let me guess. You are at 901 now

Different in NY

No, actually I have not. But what is obvious is that you helicopter parents feel the need to tell people about themselves and their families. However, the bottom line is that there are options for however you see fit to play your kids. But instead you rather whine and cry about people abiding by rules you deem unfair in some leagues and tournaments. Stop crying and enter those events you feel fall within your ethical bounds as you would want your kids to play. But for your own dignity, stop the crying.

Nope

I think all hold back kids and parents of hold back kids, should where a special bracelet on wrist .Now that would be great.

Helicopter huh. Get off your high horse. You are extremely defensive about this while calling everyone else whiners. If the shoe fits...

So you stayed with the guy who made such an outlandish proposal.

Attack on Express is 10/03 DOB. played both WSYL and MM tourney. Should be rising 9th. HOLDBACK

Maryland kids are already 14 and their cutoff is September 1st. A one month hold back because NY is December 1st is not a factor. We are talking about the kids 50 pounds heavier and a foot taller. That's dangerous at this age. And the thirteen year olds beat the holdbacks anyway. The point is safety at this age.

Did Express have their Texas kid with them again? Now why would that be allowed?

Maybe LU should get up to speed with almost the rest of the entire country and change your school cutoff to 9/1. They maybe you can stop bitching about a couple months difference.

It's not a couple months. Who are you kidding. Holdbacks at this age are obvious. Kids and coaches won't answer simple questions, like how old are you..

He lives here in the summer. He's not a holdback btw

There are few..myopic comments

Oh......okay.......but his permanent residence is in TX, correct????

Yes - sure. They will just change the school cutoff for the purposes of lax! As though any locale could just go out and change their age cutoff for any reason without serious considerations of cost, organization, planning, etc.

Ask Millon, both 90d1 MD and 90d1 LI have players from Texas.

I missed the governance in travel lacrosse about residence requirements relative to a club. Where can I read about this??

Any kid that is on multiple club teams that doesn't go to the weekly practices month after month and just shows up for a couple games is a ringer.
