.... and as others have said, these club owners would make more money if they used a strict calendar year system. It would open up club lacrosse to a wider range of athletes, skill level and experience. The best of the best of the best can hang with older kids, and their families probably love it. But the more typical "good" athlete can not.
The MD MIAA and the MA and PA prep schoolers can still enter HS at 16, and enter college at 20. No one wants to stop that if that is what they want. Just have club lacrosse be age on age. AAA, AA, A and B divisions. Will increase enrollment and $$$ for club owners. Fair, even, competitive games keeps parents coming back, and entices more parents to come - especially from the lesser athletes and the less experienced players, who can play A or B and have fun.
Unless the rules have changed lately, max age to play in the MIAA is 19 (you can turn 19 during your senior year). This is only one year older than the "normal" senior age (17 into 18).
only huh. There can be huge difference between a high school senior and a college freshman. It's not changing but it is gaming the system without a doubt
and you can also just turn 17 in your senior year making the spread 2 years not just or only 1 year
