never moving to 1/1 may move to 8/1
They change it every year, if they made it 8/1 this year then almost every MD team would have went. Most teams have a few kids born in August 03 which is why they did not go. They need to make the change now before try outs start. Last year they made the change after rosters were set and set by using the 5/1 date from the previous year. Rec,Club,US Lacrosse,WSYL all need to get in tune with each other to move this sport forward together. Age or Grade, just get it right so all can play by one set of rules.
Aug 1 may let some players play but it will hardly get most MD teams with holdbacks to play.
Here is 2016 UA age list for 2019.( last year rising 9th graders) 24 players born before Aug. MD had a higher concentration of these holdbacks due to MIAA kids on team. I suspect it is much much more on the MD teams as obviously all holdbacks didnt make UA team.
It is sad when 34 out of 112 are heldback on UA team. So I suspect short of it being a grade based tournament MD top teams wont be competing or be competitive without their holdbacks.
