The Howard County employees that started HOCO must have some interest in Private schools as why would this Howard County Lax league be grade base when every other Howard County Recreation League is age base. Howard County has no morals when it comes to youth sports. This is disgusting hidden behavior of government employees. Where is all the fairness and equality among the kids. This is another reason Lacrosse is becoming a joke among many due to adult behavior of gaming the system....
HOCO is not a rec league. It is a club league. And last I checked, all clubs have teams by graduation year. So you want them to have a league based on age when all the clubs are structured by graduation?
Makes sense
No, it doesn't make any sense. You write as if the founding fathers of the country wrote to the British to declare freedom to do grade based teams. The grade based teams garbage can started less than 2 years ago. The two earlist movers were NPYLL/McClernan and HOCO. They both rushed to adopt grade based teams reasoning 'this way we can field more teams than the old U-9, U-11, U-13 and U-15. I'm still missing the part where doing more teams could not have meant a U-9, U-10, U-11, etc. system exactly like every other youth sport in our Maryland county.
But you are right about one thing; to the extent that club lacrosse is stubborn to remain the lower prep school division equivalent sport. That's fine. Families and kids can pick a lot of sports and more will just not choose lacrosse if it is just a protected sanctuary for private school kids. Lacrosse can then be what it really wants to be which is an insignificant off-the-run preppie sport like crew.
