The people running lacrosse is ruining it by allowing it. They need to Go birth year based like other sports do, and not school grad year. Period. It’s out of hand now.

holdbacks have been around McD, BL, StP.Gil , etc for years now. Never made a difference at youth lacrosse as all youth lacrosse was by age and private schools played each others holdbacks and prefirsts in middle school and HS.

Clubs , Mainly Crabs along with a couple others 7-10 years ago as clubs were exploding everywhere decided to go grade base with the notIntelligent HoCO league leading the way. Of course HoCo league while all Howard County teams were age based decided to have a grade based league. No one could figure it out until the guy running it for HoCO was discovered to have a holdback son playing.

HOCO and Howard County should go down as Hall Of Shame for helping ruin Youth lacrosse in MD which spread to other states.
