You should be so proud that older kids are beating younger kids. If lacrosse went to age base your team wouldn't be so good and your boy would have to play at his age and he wouldn't be so good.


Sad commentary. so if we go back to an age base system there will still be kids a year older and a year younger! Why is this so hard for you to understand. Youth sports has always been this way. You are crying because your son plays against a kid 1 year older? Sad. good luck in High school


The sad commentary is from YOU! Prefirsts/holdbacks/reclassed as it relates to YOUTH lacrosse in a grade based environment is to gain an advantage over others. Very simple concept except to apologists like you.

It does work for many players which makes it so popular. And especially the MIAA private school kids. The prefists were at a disadvantage when they had to play at age a few years ago. Now they have an advantage of being the oldest every single year they play youth.
