I'm very confident clubs will go to Birthday cutoffs when the colleges stop evaluating based on graduation years.



Colleges will never go to age based recruiting? Why would they? Every sport recruits by grade. You don't see basketball and football parents - who see much more reclassing - this worked up as lacrosse parents are.


So grade based recruiting is responsible for having the mess we have with 3rd thru 8th grade teams. So the select heldback players get to play down against other same age players due to the recruitment in 9th thru 12 grade??? You guys are too funny!!

Somehow the coaches didnt have a problem before??
Especially since HS teams were all grade based and no one cared about the age difference?? HS lacrosse was a complete different structure then YOUTH Lacrosse..but it isnt to many now and many clubs want to keep it that way.
