Correct. And this was the MIAA schools secret among most people until the youth grade based lacrosse leagues started. No one knew or cared outside of MIAA schools about prefirst/reclass . It only effected school teams playing each other in Middle and High school . Even the Crabs who were loaded with private school kids had an age based U13 and U15 team back then.

But once HOCO decided to have a youth grade base league. Everyone in the lacrosse community understands it now and most besides the apologists think it is wrong in youth sports.

HoCo exposed prefirst, oh no, what are we going to do? The horror, how will we ever survive together on Earth?


As always the apologists come out with their usual strawmen or excuses.The only horror is in your mind that these select kids will have to play at their age grouping during their youth. No one knew or even cared about the prefist mentality of Private schools. And no one cares even now as it pertains to private schools. It is a good thing for private schools as curriculum is very strong. And Privates dont want to spend extra time or extra resources constantly getting kids ( majority boys) up to speed.
But how did that become an excuse to let these select kids get an advantage in YOUTH lacrosse. Not private school lacrosse..but Youth lacrosse for everyone?? Apologize away...
