This will all go away for us 2019 parents in a year or two, and then we will have a Varsity lacrosse coach to be mad at about something.


Your point is well and good for High School teams and above. But where the BIG issue with the holdback/reclassify thing is at the youth level . We dont need to teach 8 and 9 year olds the tough reality of life is not fair. We are talking youth sports of under 15 years old. It is nothing to do with teaching hard lessons to 11 12 year olds or whatever youth age. This is about letting a select group of youth get away with cheating the system. Crabs are big proponents of holding children back. The Director is very open about it.
