A Question in regards to the Nassau County NY PAL Lacrosse League:
We have a player who participates in this league - His birthdate is in June of O4 (8yo) - For reasons we don't know - he is currently back in the 2nd grade (Should be 3rd grade) - In regards to the PAL rules, which were very vague -- Should he register for the 2nd grade division (once again) or the 3rd grade division? - We would like to be official, as well as ethical in this matter…… to be fair to the boy himself and to the boys he will be playing against - Might we add, the boy is a top tier player who would far exceed most players currently registering for the 1st/2nd grade division (Spring 2013) -- As far as 'Official PAL' rules - does 'age' supersede 'grade'?? -- Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated - thank you
