My son is in his senior year at a public high school. Obviously he is bummed not playing this spring. I asked him ifhe ever plays vs. older kids. His response is yeah some are a year older. Granted my son isn't good enough to play in college but playing vs a kid a year older never bothered him but it bothered me. This year I realized if he's OK with it I should be too. Seems to be more of a private school thing where lacrosse is more important to parents than the kids.
