Serious question - are any of the MIAA kids that have committed NOT reclassified?
Yes per UA rosters Hawks MD to MD (Dob 11/14/01) FCA G to MD (Dob 8/27/01) FCA A to UNC (Dob 8/13/01)
two of those are holdbacks
here we go again. 3 days and 19 days. you are right, they gamed the system. being that much older really gave them a leg up. UNC and UMD are suckers for recruiting those kids.
3 days and 19 days ?? That would be to Sept 1? The very first day to be eligible in age based. So these players are always playing against kids younger than them by much more than 3 and 19 days. Taking advantage of the system to always being the oldest and always playing against younger kids in youth lacrosse sure doesnt seem in the spirit of all we are taught in youth sports..I assume these kids could not have had same results being the youngest on age players.
Why cant ALL August birthdays play down like these players??
Actually, the two players did play with 2019 until this past spring when the 2019s were in high school. So they were the longest in the age group and still committed to great schools.
Playing a competitive sport is part of what prepares you for adulthood. You face challenging situations and get a ton of chances to figure out solutions before you have to do something similar on a larger scale in real life. Maybe your son will whine when he has to compete for business against someone who is older and more experienced than he is. When you welcome challenges, you welcome growth and success. GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!
