The grade based system is a complete failure. Too many parents chasing early commitments and college scholarship and club owners feeding the frenzy have created an unsavory environment. Age based youth lacrosse until the 8th grade would be the best scenario to create a level playing field. Eventually US Lacrosse will get this done - it's the best for everyone over the long term.
Another idiot dad. News flash - youth lacrosse USED to be age based. It was changed to grade based like the girls side is to make it easier to compare kids within the same grade. Then some dads cried about it and now it may get switched back.
You'll learn that nobody cares who wins a youth tournament or game. The point is for these kids to compete against kids in their same grade. What's next - crying about playing against seniors when your son is a junior?
LOL. It's not that big of a deal, dad.
