Here is some interesting numbers from Under Armour Command Division (Rising 9th and 10th graders) last year. This year UA has decided to NOT post birthdays like last year. Wonder Why??

Out of 112 players that are 2019 last year,,,, 34 were heldback, prefirst, reclassed or whatever you want to call it .....Thats a bunch!!

So 30% of players couldnt play if they went by USL age guidelines of Sept 1 or like most schools of a Sept 1 start for beginning of school . I know its HS so age doesnt matter but it looks like reclass works.

Out of 15 players that are 2020 last year ,,, 5 were heldback, prefirst,reclassed or whatever you want to call it.

Thats 33% of players .......

So basically around ONE THIRD of all players in Command last year were heldback!!!!! WOW!!!!

And to add to that, around One third 33% of All players are born From Sept -Dec from both 2019 and 2020..So you have a good shot if you are on the older side for proper age of your grade.


Being older works according to this. At least for UA .. Strong conclusions that if your son is born between Jan and Aug and you/he is interested in lacrosse...Might want to hold him back!

These are for numbers after start of puberty for boys which does even things out some( doesn't look like a lot at this age) , can you imagine advantage at youth for older players prior to puberty.
