Everyone forgets how unsafe this is for the kids who are actually playing the RIGHT way!!


Not sure where this three year age gap exists in grade based lacrosse. We have 2-3 kids (out of 20+) who did a pre first year who are 3-5 months past the old age cut off. Yes a bit older but unless kids are playing up a grade (their choice) there just isn’t that big a spread. If you are two or theee years too old, you wouldn’t be allowed to play in the IAC, WCAC, MIAA etc. your senior year. And we don’t have anyone repeating a class (maybe the rule change helped with that).
