That all those parents who are holding their kids back who are born March through June are going to have a crisis of conscience and run to their schools to re enroll their kids in 6th grade? Give it a rest.

Lax is not the only sport using graduation class by the way. Club soccer does it too. And hockey (I think). Let’s all just face it, club lacrosse has its positives but it also is ruining the sport in many ways. Rec is dying in most states making it almost impossible for new demographics to join the party. It’s an elitist sport more than ever. And elitist stop at nothing to win. Hence, holdback, double holdback etc.

Your kid plays a sport where you either gotta swim or sink.

Again, can this thread be about the 2029 boys lacrosse programs again?

Hockey is age based
Soccer is age based
Baseball is aged based
Football age based with weight restrictions
Lacrosse no rules
