Oh well that's life. Same way in the real world always have to do what's best for you and your family.
Big difference between making a living and protecting your family and you playing your child down on a sports team at the detriment of other children just so your child who can not cut it with kids his own age looks good. Pathetic and not even worth discussing with folks who can not see the distinction.
Funny thing is... holdbacks are so commonplace now for the top level teams that it has become "normalized". These guys all play each other. So the best kids really are the best kids... 'cause the holdbacks compete against the holdbacks. Crazy and not changing... suck it up or go play baseball.
Very mature and a response based on your limited and self centered viewpoint. Not ALL of the elite teams are made up of holdbacks - your Johnny is still trying to look better by playing younger kids despite how you try to spin it.
Actually... my Johnny is one of the youngest on-age players on his team ... my point is the sport committed to grade-based club teams several years ago and a disgruntled mass of helicopter parents aren't going to change the course. The train has left the station. Bitching about it is a complete waste of time... entertaining as [lacrosse] ... but a complete waste of time.
