When have you ever seen or heard a tournament and/or USAL call out a team for player ages when they are grade-based? The reason the Edge boys play at a higher age level in hockey is because hockey (and soccer) have gone to age-based systems of play, and with good reason, mostly for all the same problems you dismiss exist with holdbacks. And these sports are stronger because of it.
plan your boycott now edge is back at Big 4HHH june 17-18 Crabfeast June 24-25 and NLF 15-16. Ask your coach to boycott those tournaments and you may be looking for a new team next spring.
Toughen up and stop crying. Edge is playing by the rules, every team has older players, including yours. The boys are in HS now, give it a break. if you don't like it don't play lacrosse. About a third of the college freshman lax players I know have a 20 year old roommate. Sounds like badminton may be a better option for your son. But you'd probably find something to complain about there too
Very simple way to handle these Canadian punks. Just refuse the game at game time. Do warm ups, and walk of the field in protest. If teams did this every time, they'd either stop coming to tournaments or change their behavior. Tell your coach and your director to grow a pair and walk off the field. No reason to play. A, the younger team is not going to look good, and B, they risk injury. It's the only way. US Lacrosse is useless, tournament directors just care about money and college coaches are oblivious. There are NO RULES. #walkoffthefield
Haha, will never happen, you would then have to walk off when playing Crush, Laxachusettes, FCA, Crabs, etc. And that's where all the coaches are watching

Unfortunately you're probably right, it won't happen. But, if it did, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing to see, a massive protest against Edge, not for who they are but for what they stand for and how they game the system and say it is because of the way their school system works and it is different than the US school systems. Who cares, have your players play in the proper age bracket regardless if it is grade base because your grade base is way different than ours. We do not have 16 year old 9th graders in massive numbers.
