My kid is a June birthday... so I guess he is young (?) for his "lacrosse age". Would i love him to continue to play though HS and college - sure. But would I hold him back in school for a year to do so... that's beyond demented. I swear I had no idea this even occurred until my kid started playing travel and I saw the birthdates on TeamSnap. I just thought the one or 2 kids on town team that were real big (or "held back") just had some learning issues. I would never imagine they were held back for parenting issues.
