Ah no, they are the 27 holdbacks playing on age with 26.

Not the Hawks kids. They are all on age 27s.

I’d be willing to bet they have at least 3-4 holdbacks. Not that I really care but really you think hawks are probably only team in 27 with all on age kids.

I wasn’t saying they have no holdbacks. I just know the ones that played up with us at WSYL are on age 27s and could play again. I’m sure they have a few

And. Going forward there will be more and more holdbacks taking the spots of the “on-age” kids! Sad but true!

That is the state of lacrosse right now. A Big reason of the holdback scene is the private schools in the NE corridor including our MIAA schools. . I dont see it changing anytime soon as more and more parents see the effects of holding your child back. There is no penalty with grade base lacrosse

Other sports have holdbacks, but nothing like lacrosse. Money sports in college BB and Football have less holdbacks than lacrosse percentage wise easily.
