Team LI plays by age, not by grade. Age is the appropriate and fair way to play.

Wait till you crush people go to MD and play crabs and the rest of the MD clubs. they all play by grade but leave their children back a year. So your little crush kid that is age appropriate for his current grade will be playing against kids a year plus older...all of a sudden you will wake up and see the truth.

Once boys hit puberty, that year difference means a lot in terms of strength and speed.

Unless of course, your little crush team is made up of left back boys now...
