Good night.
You showed you need a couple more 25 players before that happens. But the ones you did get this year have played well so that’s good.

Actual, honest to goodness serious question. When a kid is held back at this age, do the parents hide them at some obscure school so that no one laughs at them because they had to repeat a grade for either A. being slow or B. for lacrosse. I was wondering how it works so they are not humiliated at their parents desperation.
Not necessarily a small obscure school, but almost always a change in school. Most kids tend to go from public to private/catholic, but I've seen kids leave their private schools to repeat at a public (and some private to private of course too).

I would imagine you HAVE to change school. That would be too embarrassing to walk in to the same teachers and younger kids from the year before, for multiple reasons. Thanks for the answer Keep your heads up hold backs. Don't mind those people laughing at you both in front of your face and behind your back. It will all pay off for your Mom and Dad at the water cooler.

What holdbacks are you referring to? This topic has been beaten to death; what will be the excuses in high school?

Not the prior poster so I can't answer what holdbacks he is referring to. But comparing seventh grade holdbacks to HS is not a valid comparison. HS sports are designed for four grades to play together, so if a freshman, sophomore, or junior plays varsity, he is signing up to play against kids 1, 2, or 3 years older and that is his choice. But one grade grade teams (ie, 2026) are designed for one grade to play together, so if a player with 8th grade physical development and experience plays against a 7th grader, he has an advantage. Especially at this particular age when boys are going through adolescence. If a team has multiple such players, that team has an advantage. Go ahead and call me whiny names or tell my son to hit the wall, or to take up tennis or golf. That is what people do when they are losing an argument, so if you want to stake out that position for yourself, be my guest. But comparing four year HS programs to one-grade lacrosse programs is not a fair comparison; just saying.
