Let's clarify that. It is a recruiting issue. When an age legit 14 yo 2019 steps on the field at a showcase with a 16 yo 2019 the 16 year old with even average ability will look like a super star against the 14 yo. Which is exactly what the 16 yo parents are striving to achieve. In the case of HS ball, coaches will only bring up those freshmen that have the skills and physical maturity to compete at that level against 17 and 18 year olds (19 and 20 in the MIAA and Inter AC).


Really?!? 20 year olds??? MIAA rules are you must be 18 when you start your senior year. Nice try though. The legend just keeps growing


Oh sorry, 19 and 3/4th years old. You win MD Daddy. Still two years older than the average on age legitimate HS senior. You must be so proud to have a son who should be finishing his sophomore year of College still in HS. If he's like many college students, and many lax players, it will take him 5 plus years to finish undergrad. Maybe, just maybe he'll have a real job and out of your basement by 26 or 27. Perhaps he'll do the camp and MLL thing for 2 or 3 years. Then at the ripe old age of 30 he'll test the job market. If only you could stack the deck for him in the real world... Like you did in Lacrosse. Ooooppps, he'll have to stand on his own now against the older scary kids... You know the ones that finished college at 21 or 22 and now have positions of responsibility at age 27. Good Luck... Sorry, have to do the financial recap: $200,000 for 5 or 6 years of private HS, $300,000 for 5 plus years of Undergrad. Less $40,000 for your "athletic scholarship". Plus another $50,000 for ten years of Club ball and training. The result, a 27 year old lax camp instructor who plays MLL. Bravo! Bravo! Now that's an accomplishment MIAA Daddy.


Yes, I am an MIAA daddy. Both my boys are on age though. They are some of the best schools you could ever find. Why do you think the Cleveland Browns head coach left his family in Baltimore when he got the job? I am not a fan of reclassifying, I just don't come on here and whine like a little [lacrosse] about it incessantly.


I think you're mistakenly thinking about your wife with you're reference to the "little [lacrosse]", I digress. They are the best schools in Baltimore, because you can't send your kids to most of the public cesspools in your neck of the woods. No whining here, just a statement of the facts. Sometimes hard to swallow for you MIAA Daddies. Why don't you grow a pair and call some of your fellow MIAA Daddies out... Remind them that we all know their kid couldn't play on age. A little public shaming goes a long way towards changing peoples attitudes. By the way, you might want to find another forum, we'll never stop calling you, I mean your friends out. Further, my son does it on the field right to the kids faces, tells the whole field. "Hey this donkey is 17 and just finished 9th grade again." You see my son was taught to challenge himself, be tough, and stand up for what's right. That's how we raise our children. Its called intestinal fortitude, you and your friends should look into it...
