All hoco elite teams have kids born before 9/1/2003! All of them! If you think your coach would turn away a quality player that was born before 9/1/2003 and was in the correct grade, you are mistaken.

Blame your coach for being a crappy recruiter, but don't blame the other teams for getting these kids as the kids realize they are not at the top of their grade and drop down to take a spot from a younger kid.

That's the way club lacrosse works.

If you don't like it, play rec. There is no option in club lacrosse for teams that only take kids born after 9/1/2003.
