OK lets just start over. If Madlax is based out of the DMV and the common practice in the DMV private schools is to start kids at 6 years old not 5, What would you like Madlax to do if the teams in all these tournaments not the Denver tournament are grade based? They have tryouts, you pay your $45 and show up for the grade you say your kid is in. This is not a Madlax problem this is a parents problem. They can bring their son to the 2023 tryout. Correct! Would you like them to say this team is a 2024 grad year team but your son is 12 months older then the rest of the kids. You have to play 2023. But my kid is a 2024. They are also a company that makes money. So if your client base is older and playing down in some peoples eyes. What should they do? You think if they band all older players it would be good for the bottom line? Those kids would all play VLC or Blackwolf and they would win these tournaments and get the kids who sign D1 in 5 years.
HOLD THE PHONE!!!
So in the Madlax world, your kids don't even begin school until they are a year older than the rest of the kids??
Which means, even before you begin, every kid on the team is one year older than all other 2024's??
Which means a Madlax holdback can be TWO YEARS OLDER than an on age 2024?!!!!!
Welcome to the world of MD private school lacrosse. Is this really the first time you read this? You must be new. Oh and by the way if you leave ML the owner sends very complimentary emails promising to support you in all your future endeavors.
I just thought that they had different admissions standards for Kindergarten, as far as the date goes (which they do), which I thought was a few months difference. I had no idea the difference was an entire year. That is REALLY eye opening. So, a true holdback would be two years older then your normal 2024. WOWWWWWW!!!
