While this is not breaking any rules, it is just getting to the point that families are becoming very frustrated with youth lacrosse. Something has to be done, or the sport will implode and leave a few standing clubs and go back to being a sport of the privileged. I agree it is not a terrible thing to have guest players from within your club, that are on age, help fill out a roster. That said, when other clubs, teams enter a bracket, they choose carefully, knowing their team's skill level. Families pay a lot for these experiences, and many make huge sacrifices for their family so that their kid(s) can play in these tournaments. It is just frustrating for teams to go to a tournament to find themselves up against better ranked kids, clubs or older players. So, no, the rules were not broken, and this is an acceptable practice, among certain circumstances, it is disheartening to the opposing clubs and teams when their shot at solid competition is suddenly changed, beyond anything in their control. That is why USL needs to step it up fast, along with tournament directors, way too much fluidity between kids switching rosters, age groups etc. It is hurting the sport and the desire for families to have their kids join.
