Sadly, it will only change when a boy gets seriously hurt by a "hold-back" "cheater" and the family sues the club.
Yeah, and since that’s never happened before, I’m fairly certain it won’t happen in the future either. One of the reasons that it is a non-issue for clubs.
It always never happens . . . until it does!
It does happen more times then we think. My kid plays on age. Like myself I would tend to think that the parents of on age kids are most likely very ethical and decent people. If my kid got hurt on the field and yes it has happened, I am not running over to the boy that hurt my kid to check his ID. That would be completely unethical, and I would never do that to a child.But his parents should be ashamed of themselves.
