The ELITE divisions were invitation only. And all teams that were invited have holdbacks. The clubs could have said no, we'll play in AA. [lacrosse] at your club director, not HOCO. Although considering all the clubs in the Elite divisions have holdbacks, I must assume you are with a lesser club. Are you just mad that your team wasn't invited to play in the Elite division. If you are in the Elite division, do you complain to the holdbacks parents on your team or just come here to [lacrosse] anonymously? Do you complain to your club director that they are fielding teams with older kids? What are you doing to change things other than whining on here?

Stop pointing your fingers at HOCO. They have built the league around the structure that all the Elite clubs want. Every team below the Elite Divison(Or AA for younger ages without and Elite division) are just cashing your checks and laughing that you are paying thousands of dollars for glorified rec lacrosse so you can say little Johnny plays club lacrosse. So who are the ignorant ones here?
