Their are holdback in hockey, basketball and many other sports, and those kids do just fine.
The only people who seem to complain are LI lacrosse dads.
No holdbacks in Hockey, strict age rules that go by birth year. i.e. 96, 97, 98. Try again. Only people that defend holdbacks are parents of kids who can't compete on age from PA, MD and Mass. Only way your teams can compete. Everyone knows. Face it, if you didn't have 1 and 2 year holdbacks your kid's team would never win anything. 99.9% of LI kids play on age or play up. No complaining, just going to continue to expose you and your kid.
