Why do you care how old a kid on varsity is as long as he did not hit his 19th Birthday before starting his senior year? That's the only rule for miaa.[/quote]
I believe that is the rule for most HS's. People get so wound up about this. Maybe there are some advantages for middle school grade teams but HS is HS and your are going to have at least a 4 year variance across players ages and even more in college if they're lucky enough to play at that level...[/quote]

Why do people get wound up? Other than local bragging rights nobody GAF about HS lacrosse. Recruiting happens at the club level and the 18 year old still has an advantage against the 16 year old there.

Saying "they're all in HS now" is the primary deflection tactic of a holdback parent.[/quote]

You actually typically care, unless your high school is a real pile of donkey dung.
