I know that many reclass are extremely young for their grades like June-August birthdays, so an extra year of school is understandable, especially in Covid times. Once kids are Sophomores and juniors it really shouldn't matter given they all play high school lacrosse together. College coaches dont care if they have older more mature players when they enter college.
It's called cheating. Plain and simple. Play by the rules. Reclass. Then it's not cheating. My son would be embarrassed to play down - even if it was on a team filled with reclasses his age.

Show me the rules you speak of.

Most, if not all tournaments, require that a player plays on a team that corresponds to their graduation year. Therefore, if a 2023 is playing on a 2024 team, it's against the rules.
