Question regarding the recent Junior National Championships this past week. I noticed many of the bigger clubs (M&D for example) were not there. There was an age requirement which stated players needed to be born after 9/1 to be eligible to play with their club team. Players born prior to 9/1 would have to play with their older club team if this makes sense. It begs the question, were some teams not entered because their rosters contained too many girls born prior to 9/1. I realize this gets into "reclassification" territory, but one of the parents brought this up at the tournament and I thought it was interesting.
This tournament is normally at the end of July after most teams are done for the summer. And it was mid-week this year, not opportune for families.
If you want to talk age, I recommend going to the north east thread. This topic has been exhausted for years.
