Listen I totally agree with you. I think it's ridiculous but unfortunately it's the way of lacrosse nowadays. I hate it to because my son is going into 9th but hasn't really started his growth yet and it seems the early bloomers are the ones getting looked at. If you are a 5'10" 160 lb attackman at this age you are totally ahead of the game. My son is 5'0" 110 but has the skill but unfortunately size is a factor right now.
