I saw this posted on the 2024 page. From the USA Lacrosse website. Has it always been a 8/31 cutoff? What was Dicks?
"Pardon as I am sure this has been covered before. Has it always been a Aug 31 cutoff for age based tournaments? Thanks
U12:
All players must be 11 years old or younger on the August 31st preceding competition. U11:
All players must be 10 years old or younger on the August 31st preceding competition."
Thanks
Below is age requirements at [lacrosse]'s. Seems like new norm for these big events is extend cut-off to june 1 to accommodate grade teams. At least there is a cap on age.
In the youth divisions (15U, 13U, 11U), the age cutoffs are as follows: 11U: all players must have been born on or after 6/1/2003 13U: all players must have been born between 6/1/2001 and 9/30/2003 15U: all players must have been born between 6/1/1999 and 9/30/2001
