All the big Baltimore MIAA schools, BL, Gilman, St Paul, McDonogh have holdbacks in every grade. And not just a few but many. Not sure the extent Loyola and Calvert Hall as they dont have a lower school to put out 10-25 holdbacks at each school in pre-first grade year after year. While they can do what they want at their schools and against each other, their influence has put a black mark on youth lacrosse in Maryland. The parents at these schools know just what they are doing along with willing coaching staffs. Many of the coaches and assistants are involved in youth clubs in Baltimore.
