McDonogh and Boys Latin DO NOT encourage it.

Most people that criticize this wish they had done the same...
practice harder, lift weights train.
Stop making excuses and make decisions that are best for your child.
You most likely never played a sport and look old compared to others your age.

It will all even out later.

And mind your own damn business....


BL encourages it, Crabs encourage it.

It is my business when your 16 yo is playing my 13 yo in an 8th grade tournament. By the way, I am videotaping and plan to take you, tournament directors and USlacrosse to court if Jr gets injured. That's my way of evening it out...


BL does not encourage it. In fact, parents in my son's class had to threaten to pull their son and send him to St. Pauls to get BL to allow him to repeat.
