If your kid is 13 years old (14 can’t be allowed!!) already and is playing in 2028 age group you should be ashamed of yourself!!
But I thought lacrosse isn’t age based? Isn’t is by grade?
Lacrosse wrongly goes by grade not age so the mid Atlantic region has an advantage in school because they have a different school cutoff than NY so some of their kids will be in the correct grade for their region but roughly a year older than some of our kids. On top of that then some hold their kids back before starting school ie, Kindergarten, or 5th/8th grade. No sport is designed for holdbacks but grade based sports reward insane parents who holdback their children.
