These are Olympic athletes that are some of best in the world but they still cheat for an advantage and to ensure they WIN. People so upset that some young men are a year or 2 older. Who cares. Always will be cheaters. Worry about your kid, your message to them and how they grow from competition. Win or lose. Maybe hold backs are same kids that using PEDs when older. You can't control other people's choices. Most on age kids could care less about hold backs. Next year there will be tons of kids older. Teach them to compete and not complain.


Really? This is YOUTH lacrosse - not Rio, not college. How about teaching youth what is right? The league is supposed to control other people's choices when they are breaking the rules but clearly they have missed that point.
