If you do not believe that playing at a younger age is an advantage later on then why did you have your children start at such a young age.Further why do feel the need to knock the parents who push their kids to excel, I for one have nothing but respect for the amount of time many of these parents put in with their children.Check the rosters for the yj 2019 team many 2020 kids on the team but you do not seem to mind. Matter of fact almost all travel lacrosse teams have some kids of younger ages at their lowest age level.Bottem line if the kid is good enough to make the team so be it.Must drive you crazy when an academically gifted child gets moved up a grade or takes more advanced classes
