Yep. Then when everyone does it, what do the privileged families do to create an advantage? Create pre-6th? Btw, I agree - who should care? But to be clear the rec comparison fall short. Yes, Rec is and has been 2 year age groups. So take lightning for example - 4th and 5th grade. Mostly 5th grade made the A and the 4th made B. Best 4th grade played up on A. So it was obvious the next year the 5th grade were gone and had to be the younger for 2 year [lacrosse]. With club grade the weak holdback gets the advantage at every year. But who cares because in HS they all compete for the same team.
