Every youth sport is done by AGE...BIRTHDAYS...but not lacrosse. As a coach and father its criminal that we do not enforce age based teams. Too many parents are chasing D1 dreams. Its about the kids and wait for it...its about having fun for the KIDS!!!! If little johnny is that good playing down being held back let him try to be good playing against kids his own AGE!!!! and if you say it doesn't matter playing down your an idiot.
