If at first you can't succeed, at your own age, CHEAT and play against the little kids... Ahhh the life lessons some parents teach. Is there no end to depths folks will sink? What's next? Lying about your race? I guess that's ok too. I get it, you can call it race reclassification. That might be another way of stealing a spot at the school you want him to get into. See a trend here? Lying, Cheating, Stealing.... These lessons your teaching won't manifest themselves in other ways when he gets older, don't worry.
First, the idea of replaying a grade is NOT cheating. You might not like it and BOTC might not like it, but it is not cheating. Now, the NYSPHSAA might clamp down on this process in the coming months, however until such time, there is nothing illegal about the move.
Again, the issues surrounding the social stigma of being "left back", leaving your on-age friends, and not graduating "on time" just to pursue lacrosse seem like an absolutely misplaced sense of priorities to us. Misplaced, but not cheating.
