To get an advantage that holdbacks are getting now. If you are thinking of holding your child back in 7th or do a PG after 12th later in his lacrosse career...he should play one grade below what he is in now. Its only fair to him and his future team.

Frankly I say let all players play down a grade if they want, seems like the right thing to do.

The only thing wrong with your advice is logic. If all players play down a grade then there is no longer an advantage. However, I do not think there should be an advantage. Read any post in any region on all of these topics and everyone knows it is wrong to have kids play down. If a player is already a grade back in school then fine he should play in the grade he is in. Why any parent would even think of signing a player up in the wrong category is beyond me. Why even call the group 2024 if a player who is currently in 7th grade is allowed to play on a 6th grade team?

This is not far from the truth but very funny!:
