This statement is spot on if we're talking about high school kids, (and not 8th & 9th graders playing summer middle school grade level). And these 'older early commits' should hopefully be playing Varsity level, because up here in Westchester, there is a lot of bad JV lacrosse being played. At the prep school level it is a different story of course, where a school like Brunswick Ct. can field Fresh - Varsity highly competitive teams.


The Prep school world is a completely different animal. The Prep school world is filled with holdbacks and reclasses. It is conceivable in the prep school lax world that a 15 year old freshman makes varsity and will suit up against 18 and 19 year old seniors.
