Nope, my kid is an on age public school student for all his sports! Go talk to your NY lax community to try and change the rules next year! But remember, we will all beat you at your own game. You are a bunch cry babies!

The joke is NY can't stand losing to out of state teams who went to their graduation based teams! Next time you all decide to change the game, so some more homework first, NY is the only American state withe the Canadien birthday cutoff.


Or NY can start playing the game too and reclassing their kids and beat you at your own game. If NY is so competitive against teams loaded with holdbacks- just imagine if they loaded their teams with kids 12-24 months older too? What would happen then? Can we keep dropping our kids down? Don't worry- won't happen- we put emphasis on grades first which is why we have top notch public AND private schools. We know that smart kids taking advanced courses with athletic skill go a lot further than a kid with skill, held back 1-2 yrs to try to get recruited. I think we'd rather see our kids win in life than just on a field. Society and hovering, intrusive parents are making our kids today so soft. It's worse than a participation trophy- if your kid doesn't get a trophy, you make it possible by arranging a way he can. No faith in your kid -period.


most of your top 2020 NY teams now have holdbacks, even Crush 2020 has some, stop being a hypocrite! The graduation based teams is a monster you all created, deal with it.


Many holdbacks in NY are still age appropriate kids in other states. Deal with the fact that NY has better priorities and can compete without a bench full of kids 12-24 months older. We don't glorify kids that can't compete on the field by making them stars by leaving them back in the classroom. Get your priorities straight and tell your kids to toughen up and hit the books and don't buy them glory- that just makes a kid grow up weak. There will be more than enough kids getting recruited that didn't need to repeat grades or play with younger kids. Admire the hard worker in the classroom and on the field, pity the desperate, that plays and learns with younger kids. That's the hard truth.


do you view NY hold backs differently because they might be younger than hold backs from other regions?
