Pretty sure if players were “14” and “two years older” than an on age 2024 that they would be ineligible in the private school MD leagues their senior year (in both DC and Baltimore). Which doesn’t happen. Are there a handful of slightly older kids (four to 8 months?) Sure. But no one on my sons MD team has repeated a grade/“reclassed” recently. A few were younger and immature and did a pre-first year and therefore entered first grade as an older student but that’s before they ever lifted a lacrosse stick (and many of those students never do). And because our kids have played together for years, and played in age based tournaments, I know the number is far lower than posters here think (and there were a couple middies on Taz as big as anyone on our team). Maybe it changes in 8th grade but I think the delayed recruiting rules will make that less common than it used to be.
Prove it at the WSYL.
90% of the kids on all of these MD teams go to private school which means they started kindergarten at age 6, not age 5, like the rest of the world. They are all holdbacks and double holdbacks. And the ultimate lie detector for these delinquent dads is the participation in the WSYL. NONE of these teams are going, since they would have had to go last year in order to qualify. So they can run their damage control, and try to spin it any way they want. But at the end of the day, they are a bunch of cheaters, trying unsuccessfully, for the most part, to compete against far superior LI teams, that are a year or even two years younger. So, to all of you MD/DC daddy’s out there, I have one question for you. You going to Denver this summer?? That’s all we need to know.
