proof of age is a long time coming. teams running short of players should be required to provide rosters with photo I.D. with date of birth on a card for each kid playong sub or reg. roster. this playing up and down is totally unethical dangerous and unfair. playing up is ok if everyond concerned is aware that kids are younger and less experienced, take it easy. and only in fun games. not tournaments. to play down is like putting a ringer in a tourney to winn. a goalie that is a year or yr. and half older then the others, thats now a win its a rip off. we need simply a dard with players pix, date of birth and team affiliation. lacrosse gets enough bad press. some owners have a and b teams and have a team play more of the b teams games the b players. ripping off parents and players now integrity.
