This is not about speculation or a kid merely being bigger than other kids his own age. It is a fact that the kid repeated 7th grade. The kid is 1 to 2 years older than the other kids playing 2024. There is no reason that he couldn't have continued to play 2023. By dropping down, he gains an unfair advantage and puts other kids at risk of injury. He is a perfect example of what is wrong with club lacrosse and programs like Madlax. Some programs develop kids' skill sets in order to compete. Other programs like Madlax have to cheat.
If I was a parent of an on age kid that is now losing playing time, I would be livid. Check out the roster. 32 kids. Each kid paying $795. Some of these kids are probably playing 4-5 mins. a game. What a ripoff.
