What is the definition of a holdback now that U.S. Lacrosse has set a standard?
For 2028 and older the sky is the limit for holdbacks. 2029 and below are adjusting to the new standards.
According to USL, the cutoff is June 1. So for 2028, even though it’s not being enforced at this grade level— a kid born prior to June 1, 2009, would not be eligible for 2028. He would have to play 2027. Unfortunately, it’s not enforced at 2028.
Would it be fair to stop calling a kid born after June 1, 2009 a holdback? If so, the holdback rankings on here would likely shift.
Correct. I think FCA only has 1 kid who is older than June 1 and it's not someone you would guess.
It's a minimum of 5 and likely higher.
Yep. That’s fact. Won’t name names or numbers, but they were playing 2027 last year and they were not playing up. -FCA Dad
You’re not going to name them because they don’t exist. Playing on 27, doesn’t mean before June 1. Check your facts. Still holdbacks but somehow the rule has moved to June 1 now.
