Its the same conversation, over and over. Why dosent this sport, like every other sport just use a cutoff date. , why does football, baseball, hockey, even soccer use a date. Why is this so hard. This stupid thread once and for all can come to an end.
Because Lacrosse special privileged players (holdbacks) get no advantage to playing against proper age children.
How True
Why is it so hard for the age based proponents to understand that changing to age based doesn't make things any better for the vast majority of players? In a lot of areas of the country boys play for their middle schools in the spring so it doesn't matter what us lacrosse says or does from the sixth grade on.
In the summer teams can choose tournaments by whether they want to play holdback teams or not so it doesn't matter then either.
Trying to get the whole country to change from a grade based system that they enjoy for what is primarily a npyll problem is silly.
Frankly I don't care what the Crabs do or don't do. Change the npyll rules and leave the rest of us out it.
Even better if you really want to solve the problem get the NCAA to ban early recruiting. Most of the abuses stem from the pressure on eighth and ninth graders to stand out so they can commit early.
