A player that "is supposed to be in 7th grade" is usually not " a year older". Some of these kids with a late birthday (October or November) are only a month or too older than the Dec. 1st cut-off date. They play in 2020 division because that IS the year they will graduate and the class they will be playing lacrosse with! You think that's why these teams have an advantage?! Come on. The parents play them there because that's where they belong...they are 6th graders!
