People with a sense of entitlement will never see reason. They feel that have their son who was in pre-first then chose to repeat 8th grade is on par with a true graduation year child. Tha fact that their son who could be 18 months older than the kids on the other team doesn't bother them, the parents are buying these victories and teaching their children it is OK to cheat. The parents of These kids who did the pre first and re classed in the eight grade are paying upwards of and additional $50,000 for their kids to be a dominant lax player against kids 18 months younger who haven't even started puberty yet.
The modo for these folks is "if you can't beat them, just buy it"
The tournament in question is for high school kids. The college coaches want them playing by their grade. Ok, so some kids are older. They play against each other in high school right? By your line of thinking, 10th graders shouldn't be playing against kids that are old enough to be in 11th or 12th grade. I guess Tommy, Bobby, Timmy and Jimmy should not play varsity until they are seniors then.
I understand your issue with middle school kids but you guys are making asses of yourself complaining about high school kids.
Agree.. Youth Sports should be for age only teams..U15 and under. Crabs are one of the worst offenders of the holdback in youth lax. They promote it constantly at their HS teams in the past. Problem is the Crabs have now decided to promote it at youth sports. Completely disgusting. But HS teams should be based on grade..just the way it is and should be. Doesnt mean you cant moan but it is HS and you have JV,,fresh/Soph plus Varsity teams and plenty of kids are older and mature at that point. Youth should be age period.
