Even if you are correct, there are reclassed kids in basketball, football and many other sports. Colleges don't care about the age - they want the best kids in each class. You may not like it, but you are tilting at windmills.


Complete false argument, No one doubts that colleges want the best kids in their class for all sports. Who has ever said otherwise. But why is that a driver of the thousands of lacrosse players playing YOUTH lacrosse. Why does lacrosse have some special need to give these heldback kids a advantage at the Youth level?? Is college the reason we let select heldback 10 year old children play against 9 year old children?? Or 16 year old children play against 14 year old children??
Hockey , Soccer, Baseball , Basketball all go by age at youth level?? They have more participation and generally stronger programs in college than lacrosse. Is lacrosse something special??

AAU basketball just recently tried to have some grade based teams. It is a complete mess. Many top AAU basketball programs refuse to play the grade based teams. Of course we know why??
At least in AAU basketball the better programs know what is right and wrong.


Age based in Youth, and grade based in High School. Only way to do it.
