I think it should just be done by graduating class, 2022, 2021, etc. Then no issues (unless kids are left back!).


Those kids born in sept oct nov are still graduating in 2022 if born after August 31. US lacrosse has set the ages.


Fair enough. But LI kids who were born in Sept., Oct., and Nov, 2003 would generally be graduating in the class of 2021 and thus not be playing U9. So, again, the point is not that Md teams are not following the rules - they clearly are - but nevertheless the Md teams likely have a number of older kids. Who knows if it really means anything anyway.
