Teams must play in the division of the highest graduation year of ANY of its players. For example, if a rising 8th grade team has one player who just completed 8th grade, the team must compete in the rising 9th grade division."


. . . if centralized by US Lacrosse, there should be an open period to reclassify - after all school systems finish their spring semester (like 1 July-1 September).
