U9, U10, U11, U12 etc.. would make more sense to me. The Current U9, U11, U13 two year system is not healthy at the younger ages.
Funny that you should mention this topic as BOTC brought this very subject to the table in our discussions last month. US Lacrosse believes that single year age groups would certainly work on Long Island and across most of the East Coast. Unfortunately in areas where the game is still growing, there are many clubs that have an insufficient number of players to move to a single year structure.

The double year brackets are designed to cater to the National audience of Youth Lacrosse and will not be changing within the next 12 months. US Lacrosse did say however that the New [lacrosse] area should be proactive in moving to the single year U-age structure.
