This is from AAU's website

The AAU is a grade based organization.  Each grade division consists of a 24 month age window which determines an
athletes’ participation in that division.  If an athletes’ age is outside the 24 month window for their grade, the athlete
must play up to the grade division that is normal and customary for their age.  If an athlete is in any grade above what is
normal and customary for their age, an athlete may play down provided they meet the established criteria listed in the
chart below.


And what makes that a cogent argument against age based teams? Basketball is not a sport where kids are playing in helmets and other protective gear. Girls lacrosse is 90%+ school based, girls clubs only started in last 1-3 years. Many sports? You named two and one isn't even a club sport. Clown.


You lose all credibility when making an ignorant statement like the following:
"Girls lacrosse is 90%+ school based, girls clubs only started in last 1-3 years."
It is people like you, who have no clue what you're talking about, who make this whole site a joke and absent of true facts. This site is purely for entertainment purposes only. People seeking the real story on issues should seek advice elsewhere.
