US Lacrosse Adopts New Player Segmentation Policy
US Lacrosse today announced a new player segmentation policy to ensure player safety, competitive fairness and a consistent experience for youth lacrosse. The US Lacrosse Board of Directors approved the policy in January, and it takes effect Sept. 1, 2017 (earlier adoption is encouraged). Policy highlights include grouping players by single-age years, using Sept. 1 as the determining date for a player's age and as the first day of a 12-month playing calendar, and standardizing nomenclature that lists the age first, i.e., 12U.
Are you serious? People don't follow the current US Lacrosse model. What makes you think they will follow this one? The World Series last year changed the cut-off date so that more teams could play with their studs for better TV. This will change nothing. It's a suggestion by US Lacrosse that will never be enforced.
