Are you really that dense?? grade base is new so what? A single year would be new also?? A single year would have been the right way to do a new lacrosse league or grade with age restrictions.
The lame argument again about kids have always played older kids.
So from that lame argument you get , why not let all the prefirst/holdback kids be the oldest and playdown?? Why Not! LOL


Single age is the best setup says who? I just don't get it and my son in on age. Who cares if there are kids older than him? He's not getting recruited in 7th grade.


Looking at other youth sports and using some common sense. I got that from US Soccer who has 3 million registered players,over 200 million worldwide, Single Year birthday!The horror of Soccer!! US Hockey who has over half million registered players, Baseball Several governing bodies several million playing, football several orgs. Several million players,etc.
None of these much larger organizations allow kids to play down unless there is some very good reason. Not he was held back in kindergarten so shouldn't he get an advantage ??

But HOCO and the holdback people like you know what is better for our youth lacrosse players. Grade base teams with children allowed to play down. Or as you apologists like to say. Why do you care if you play against older children who are playing down. But I never hear the part about the older kids are playing down, just why do you care about playing older children.
