My plan is to just put him on a 2023 team this spring, maybe even a 2024 team. If anyone asks us about his grade, we just lie and say we plan on downgrading next year for private school. I am 100% sure no coach will bat an eye. I do feel sorry for the unlucky 2023/24 on-age kid that he will replace. This is the wild west, you really can do whatever you want.


Exactly. I plan to do the same.For sure two years for my boy tho. Why do only a select few get to always be the oldest in Youth lacrosse. I will give the same advice as the meathead did above

Advice: Grow a pair and tell you son to man up...stop being a helicopter parent because the cream rises to the top and the crap sinks to the bottom. You're not doing him any favors coddling him.
