What's tough is that if you run a legit age-eligible team that is trying to improve to a point where you can compete with AA hotbed teams, no matter how hard your kids work and successful you are as a coach in developing your team, you can't compete with holdbacks. True to a much lesser extent with teams with lots of Spring/Summer birthdays.

That said, first world problem and I can see why it makes sense for kids to be reclassified so they can use college lacrosse to get into a better school (sure not worth it financially). Classic tragedy of the commons, however. Everyone would be better off if there was a standard age cutoff and kids didn't have to give up one or two of their prime earning years between college and retirement (pre-K and reclassing and PG take that year or two away irrevocably).
