Those sports are better at reducing age issues but cheating still happens.If someone is determined enough they find a way.That being said the teams from long island have little secrets with regard to a child's grade and a coach,parent,playervwould be foolish to attempt to cheat in regard to age.I would think this is true of most teams entered.
Then maybe the answer is league play vs tournement play. who is benefiting from these tournements? those who host the tournement and make the money - the kids aren't benefiting, playing 3 games in 4 or 5 hours. unless older and at a recruiting venue there is some value. Maybe we are exploiting our kids to much for the betterment of tournement hostes. On LI we wind up playing all LI teams for the most part when we travel. A local league for club play with controlled ages would be better, plus it would force more competition with these clubs to play agasint each other. 91 vs Express more often?
