Did you really say this? A kid gets hurt in college, that is one thing, these are grown men. But a 11 year old getting lit up by a 13 year old 2 times his size is bs. It should not be happening. The clubs let it happen, for numerous, notIntelligent reasons. And it may not change. But to say it is whining to point it out is also bs. All people want is a fair and level playing field. The clubs do not. They and their holdbacks are abusing the system at the cost of all other players. Call them out. The holdback kids and parents are weak, kid cannot make it on age, holdback. Rather than play down, they can play on age with the girls and pull a Lia Thomas. These tough guys are tough, puff out their chest, makes them tougher to play out of age, all this nonsense. Just wait until it is their kid with a broken leg. I know, nobody on this board is like that (ha!ha!) Do me a favor if you are so proud, put you kids name and age out their when he plays down. Actually, it does not matter. All the kids, parents, and coaches know anyway. So when your little unathletic Johnny scores 5 goals against kids 2 years younger and you think wow, he is great, the rest of us know your kid is just a big unathletic Lia Thomas.
