After watching the Petro interview on LaxMagazine, one take away I have is if kids weren't able to commit as 8th and 9th graders, and if coaches cooled off on actively recruiting until Sept 1 of junior year, a lot of pressure would come off the "youth" game. With all eggs in the 8th grade basket to get noticed or miss chances at Hopkins and the others, if we can ice the supply side it would help cool the demand side. US Lacrosse has come in with age based best practices. The lacrosse industry just ignored them. This seems to be a unique sport in that nobody in the sport has one iota of respect or reverence from the governing body of the sport.
Agree. USL is a joke for not hammering home constantly this point about grade base holdbacks in youth lacrosse .
