Howard County Recreation will always have a place as the organization that got the entire garbage of grade based lacrosse going in Maryland. Wonder who got them to start a grade based league when All their other programs and leagues are based on age. The private school influence? One of the Original Directors has his kid in a MIAA school. No other reason as most holdbacks/prefirsts are in private schools. Howard County Recreation department is the match that lit the torch of Youth holdback lacrosse in MD. Prior to this all Youth teams were age base. Hall of Shame goes to Howard County and its Recreation Department. You have a special place in YOUTH ATHLETICS.
LI started grade based lacrosse. MD followed suit. That ship sailed years ago. Get over it.
Howard County Rec starting a Grade based league had nothing to do with LI..
Howard County Rec has never been grade based. They have always been by birthday. Only the HOCO club teams are grade based, not Rec.
Howard County "Public" Recreation Department runs the HOCO league. Howard County Rec youth leagues are all age based. Even HOCO club teams used to be age base until Howard County started their grade based league. That is why it is ridiculous that this county government agency started a Grade based league to help out the private schools. Obviously the Recreation Department people had some ulterior motives for grade base.
