4th graders should be 9/10 yrs old. If they are older, they are a holdback.
But by the time the season starts, the expected, non-holdback age is probably 9.8+. Leave it to LI parents to believe all their boys are underage, wunderkind prodigies.
4th grade on age = 10. If you want to talk about 11 yo in 4th grade, I’m all for it. But this 9 bs is just an excuse for losing to hoco teams.
Read the US lacrosse age classification. What does it say?
I haven’t really thought about reading it because my son and the rest of his team aren’t hold backs. They’re all normal 4th graders. I think a few of the kids are still 9 rn. But they’ll be 10 soon enough.
The point though was that 10 is 4th grade age. 9.8ish if you’re trying to get cute. Your LI kids are not some underage mutant lax prodigies like your egos want to believe. Just be proud they’re on age and on competitive teams like Igloo and Rebels. There are other hoco teams which have some “pre-first” graduates on their squads.
