Yes I know that every once in a while there is the young man who's Dad played in the NFL and who's Mom played in the WNBA who is just going to be big for his age. Thats just lucky genetics not working/cheating the system. Seems like the MD. parents are pretty quiet on this topic. Come up north this summer and bring your birth certificates or better yet have US Lacrosse start issuing player I.D. when memberships are payed. Lets just even the playing field. Don't you want to win fair and square ? I would.


What if it is the other way where one kid has not hit puberty and that is reason for reclass. Football/Wrestling have weight limits for a reason. Football does it best in my opinion age/weight. Nothing is perfect though but it is not cheating and if you think about it once in high school or college doesn't matter because team is based on skill only nobody cares about your age or grade. It only matters in the younger years.
