Complete and utter BS. Go ask people in LI if they think holdbacks should be allowed to play down in youth lacrosse. They have a sizable club lacrosse community.

Only leagues that like the rule and goes by it is HOCO. Most leagues that have grade base teams also have a age restriction for all players.

HS teams and College teams are not hollering for Grade base teams?? HS and College did fine the last 50 years with age base??? What all the sudden we need grade base teams loaded with holdbacks??

It is much much more than 3 or 4 parents. Most people and coaches are against it, outside of MIAA area and other schools with holdbacks. And most people are civil and keep their mouth shut around the players. Almost No one blames the players.
