Ludicrous. What other youth sport allows kids 2, maybe 3 years apart to play together when there is so much contact between the players. I don't see how the marginal benefit of playing kids 2 years older (unless they are always playing older kids, it is marginal) is worth the risk.

Now, as always, someone will come along and say "well maybe then your kid should not play lacrosse". Nope, sorry, my kid is a stand out 2019AA, but put him up against 16 year olds and it's just no contest.


I agree with you from a travel circuit recruiting perspective, it's hard for most very talented 2019's to standout against kids that should be 2018 or 2017 in some cases. However, on the other side of the coin is HS ball. My legit 2018, last summer, played with his HS Varsity team in games and tournaments. Held his own just fine. It was good for him. Don't be afraid to challenge your son, if has talent and I'm sure he does, he'll do well.
