It can't be accepted because it is always from the same states and usually from the same teams that the kids are bigger. Long Island kids are always the smallest because they don't cheat. In sports that are age based like Hockey, baseball and Soccer the Long Island Kids are the same size or bigger than the kids from these same states where the kids are so big in lacrosse. One or two big kids is normal but not most of the kids on these teams.I for one would rather have our kids play the older out of state kids and have a closer game. One last reason why it can't be accepted is when these kids go on to play college and birth dates are published on some teams it is always kids from the same States and Canada that are very old freshmen. That can't be denied.

Why can't people just accept the fact that at 13 boys vary greatly in their in development and while some may look like they are 15, 16 or older they are only 13???? If every boy on our team was born after September 1, 2003, then we have no hold backs!!!!
