Lets keep the personal attacks and immature lines of thought out of this discussion. Stay on topic.
My kids are younger, but I think that once kids are in high school, "the gloves are off", so to speak. That said, 8th grade and under should be held to birth year standards.
We can debate on what month cut-off that should be, but to argue against age/birth-year based leagues & tournaments is simply ridiculous.
Taking Canadian lacrosse as an example, they have tyke, novice, pee wee, bantam, [lacrosse], jr, sr deliniations for their own house & provincial leagues. These categories are generally 2 birth years combined with cut-off dates (July 1 for example).
So, for Canadians that are used to playing in 2-birth-year groups, it's almost to be expected that the Edge would push the envelope. It's what they know.
That said, it's up to club directors and tourney directors to clean up this mess.
Or should we wait till a kid is paralyzed, or some other serious injury occur before we do something?
The choice is obvious!
