So If you're wondering why the Laxachusetts players look a lot older, the rule above explains it. If you play at a prep school governed by NEPSAC you can enter your senior year as a 19 year old, turn 20 after September first, and you are eligible. All but four players on the 2018 Laxachusetts team fall into the above definition (they'll be 19/20 years old their |Senior year) according to one of the dads we spoke to down at Adrenaline. It is legal, but as Ty Xander tweeted out, there is a pretty big physical difference between those Laxachusetts teams and the Long Island teams they played, whose players will be 17/18 year old seniors, not 19/20 year old seniors playing under NEPSAC.


Laxachusetts was caught playing kids on two teams at NLF over the weekend but games were not stopped nor were they disqualified. If you saw their 2020 team, you know which kids were playing down. Shameful


More like typical!


US Lacrosse has no balls and defers to the clubs so this will never ever change. Go to a national database with player cards that must be shown at check in. Its tougher to check in a soccer team at a tournament than it is to get a passport. But the teams are all LEGAL!
