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.
I so agree with this... People complained when things were U13, U11, and U9 because they were loosing tournaments to older kids... It will never be good enough for these entitled parents...


I guess you failed your critical thinking and vocabulary class. No one moaned except to say that the next year we will be the oldest and get our time. Get it..Every other year you get to be in the oldest age group. Pretty simple concept?

With the single year grade base..the only entitled parents are the ones that get an advantage that others do not get with their holdbacks. That is the meaning of entitled..believing oneself to be deserving of privileges or special treatment others dont get.
