That's stupid. For youth, that's fine. But for HS kids, college coaches want to see kids in the same grade playing one another. They want the best in a particular class, period. Age based divisions for HS kids defeats the purpose.

When you are in HS, it doesn't matter who wins the game or tournament.


It isn't stupid. Coaches can watch high school games as well. Club lacrosse should be age based through middle school. After middle school it should be an open division. I don't think having 9th graders playing with older high school kids is bad.

Lacrosse coaches aren't Mensas but they can read the program to see what grade a kid is. Nobody doing recruiting is confused about what grade they are in.
