Guess you've never been to an AAU basketball tournament? Reclassifying is the norm in the basketball world.
so Basketball is the gold standard for youth sports?
No, but don't act like lacrosse is the only sport where kids don't play other kids that are their own age.
The Little League World Series is for kids 11-13. Just how in the world can those 13 year olds be allowed to play against 11 year olds? Such a travesty [/quote]
when you follow the U model it isn't an issue..u11, u13, u15. everybody does it the same, but to use kids that are older and should be a grade higher for graduation year teams is wrong. it is a travesty that parents allow their kids to play against younger players, why not put gloves on your kids and have them box kids two years younger! Parents that entertain this have no integrity and are teaching their kids that rules and guidelines don't matter, you can buy your way out of anything! [/quote]
Ok, so what's the difference between the U model and a holdback playing down a grade? Either way, it's a two year spread.
