if you DON'T MEET WSYLAX AGE REQUIREMENT THEN YOU ARE DEFINITELY NOT A 2022!!! Do you understand now!!!!!!!



WYSL is a U13 event much like most Rec leagues. 2022 is a graduation year totally independent of how WSYL and Rec leagues run their events.

WYSL's website says "A select group of U13 Boys lacrosse teams was invited to compete in three days of games against some of the best teams in the country".

Notice how is says "some of the best teams in the country" because the vast majority of the best teams are not there because they are 2022 teams and not U13 teams.

Most 2022 kids are U13 compliant, but many are not.

You are confusing the two. You can 2022 and still be either U13 or U14.



And since it is grade based...You also can still be a U15, and even U16, U17 technically.. Technically there is NO age limit.

That is why the largest youth sport in world did away with all grade base teams and went to strict U base teams for competitive play. Biggest problem with grade base was to much unfair looks at players that were 1-3 years older than the majority of players. Just doesnt seem right..

But in the youth lacrosse world we let only a select group of kids play down to accommodate this minority of holdbacks/prefirst/reclassed players. Just doesnt seem right.


Fortunately, now that NCAA prohibits coaches and players from talking till Junior year, the holdback thing is a non-issue since the playing field levels out by then. So please stop your crying about it.
