lacrosse doesn't want to do anything to hold back growth. The age versus grade will change for youth sports like it has for soccer and hockey. The kids born today will be good by the time they are in 5th grade... for now it stinks.... the recruitment changed which was a step in the right direciton from the lense of not playing down... so enjoy your time and know that its just lacrosse.. who really cares... i mean - really so he gets an academic scholarship that makes a private or out of state school the same price as a CUNY or SUNY... that isn't worth all this really is it? chill and ride it out.... we are in a time for growing the game
The real winners in the holdback game are the schools and clubs that get an extra year of tuition and extra year of club fees. They may also recommend a PG year so a holdback, reclass, pg will pay a buck fitty extra to play lacrosse. That is what makes it different from other sports. There is a market for parents. Look at the schools that are leading the sport.
Yup. College coaches love the 20 year old freshman.
