My son is an 8th grader, 5'11" and about 155 lbs. Over the summer he was on the bigger side for kids his age as soon as Fall ball started he was middle of the pack to even small (yes we did play Edge Lacrosse). I was absolutely fine with him playing against bigger, older kids but when I knew they were older before agreeing to play. He had been asked to play with an older team, so I knew what he would be up against. When his team played Edge Lacrosse, I had no idea they were older but I could see they were not just taller but also "filled out"....beefier, more mature physically. The problem I see is some of the kids on his team are small, even tiny and because there is an age difference, its really not fair or safe for them to be playing against older, bigger, faster kids.

One solution? Why doesn't every program agree to register their teams in a younger bracket across the board? Pre-empting the clubs registering all of their teams down a division (Edge..who else?).
