[/quote] You would hope he is talking about a NY kid? If Md parent holding back a Sept birthday and complaining?? Wow!!.. MD Kid would be oldest by far (1-2 years)than any child in his grade. [/quote]
please don't make uneducated comments. MD public school kids don't go to pre-first or stay back to repeat grades by choice.

I agree with everything you said except that a summer of 2001 birthday who is going into 8th grade was certainly held back, they were just held back before they started school.
There it is folks, a new word for explaining things away, we now have that aren't holdbacks, they are simply Pre-Holdbacks, that solves the problem, i'm on hold with Webster's and Wikipedia right now, hoping to get it in before August 1st, so it wont be next yea. r Both of my kids have Sept birthdays and I had both of them do an extra year of kindergarten. Does that mean that we are cheating the system because they are both on the old side for their grade? I had no idea that they would play sports once they were older. Contrast that with the boy that repeats 8th grade for lacrosse only (regardless of what his parents say). To me, those scenarios are completely different. so your kids were 7 when they did their 2nd kindergarten year? if your school district has the typical sept 1 cut-off they would have been old for their grade w/o repeat. Or you in a dec cutoff like in NY where they would be young the first time around? If the former, what was the rationale at the time? [/quote] One will turn 16 this Sept and is going into 10th grade and one will turn 14 this Sept and is going into 8th grade. Does that make them reclassified/holdbacks?

[/quote] I'd hope not - my son's two best friends are in the exact same situation with end of Aug birthdays and they are all going into 8th grade. No one was held back - their parents took the advice of school officials that boys mature more slowly, so they started them in school for the 2020 grad year way back when. Just so happens that one of them is 6' and one is 5'3" - both are excellent lacrosse players, and "old" for their grade. My son, who is young for his grade (almost a year younger than his buddies) happens to be 5'11" and 160 lbs and is also a very good lacrosse player - I'm certain people see him standing next to their 5'1" son and think "no way he's 13" - he is, though. Fact is, kids grow and mature at different paces and age is simply one factor - my son played up on JV this past winter, and was bigger than many kids out there, and also smaller, and he held his own very well. Bottom line is, you should and do what the leagues dictate - if that happens to be grad year, it's grad year - no one should cry about it, it is what it is. If it's age based play, then ages should be checked and it should be regulated, and the cheaters should forfeit. You can't have it both ways though - either it's 2020 or U13, not both.

Pretty easy to follow. NY kid is on age with most of country starting in Sept late, MD bigtime older. Nothing to do with public or private?? Everyone knows that the holdback/reclassify/pre-first thing in MD is a private school thing.

They also did girls face offs no excuses, both teams played in the same weather and dealt with the same issues during the game.

So long, it has become common practice for the established lax communities. Now that lacrosse has seen significant growth, the dirty little secrets are being exposed, and aren't accepted in most areas outside of the established communities. Until lacrosse fixes this, they will not become a major youth sport outside of the mid Atlantic and northeast.

Why would you even have an invite only for a single A tournament? How prestigious can it be to be asked to play in a tournament's lower division? "Can you please come to our tournament to prove you are the 20th best team?"

It's okay they were filling out the roster that is the issue with Lacrosse, it has become accepted to allow kids to play down in skill level and age. Top team players shouldn't be FILLING out the roster of the second team for tournaments, and kids shouldn't be allowed to play down in age. These practices have become the norm in lacrosse, and need to be addressed by US Lax if they want to grow the sport more.

Something has to be done, or the sport will implode and leave a few standing clubs and go back to being a sport of the privileged. I agree it is not a terrible thing to have guest players from within your club, that are on age, help fill out a roster. That said, when other clubs, teams enter a bracket, they choose carefully, knowing their team's skill level. Families pay a lot for these experiences, and many make huge sacrifices for their family so that their kid(s) can play in these tournaments. It is just frustrating for teams to go to a tournament to find themselves up against better ranked kids, clubs or older players. So, no, the rules were not broken, and this is an acceptable practice, among certain circumstances, it is disheartening to the opposing clubs and teams when their shot at solid competition is suddenly changed, beyond anything in their control. That is why USL needs to step it up fast, along with tournament directors, way too much fluidity between kids switching rosters, age groups etc. It is hurting the sport and the desire for families to have their kids join.

Adding players so you have enough on your roster is one thing, playing down with half of your starting line up is totally different.
