And just to be perfectly clear in an "attempt" to stop your whining and complaining about the Hawks and their ages, Hawks have 19 of their 21 boys on their roster are age 13 right now!!! The 2 that are 14 year olds just turned 14 this spring/summer and weren't even on the team last year, and these boys are also two of the smallest on the team. To continue to state the facts, Hawks beat API several times last year (without those kids) so there goes your major excuse. So you better find another excuse like "the altitude" or "jet lag" like you tried the other day. We all know which API parent is posting these excuses, just stop and let your kid enjoy playing against the top competition of all the age based teams (which is the rule of the league and tournaments your team chooses to play in). Or the other option is, go find a team who plays in a different league! Remember, after next year your son will be playing grade based for the rest of his HS and hopefully college years so stop being that "helicopter parent".
