There is an age cut off at MIAA schools, so kids can't play their senior year if they are too old.

Good luck to all hope this helps someone.


Great advice, what you say is true. Told my son the same. He is still small, but growing now. His size made him work harder. He has also been on several visits to top 30 schools and has 3 solid offers and will be deciding within the next couple weeks. Good luck to all the boys. Lots of opportunities for those who persevere through the craziness. I do laugh now thinking about all the posts claiming my shorter son would not be rercruited. Clearly people have no idea what they're talking about on here.


Bigger skilled kids will get more looks. Size does matter, and you know it!

Bigger kid will no doubt get more looks - it's the whole reason these parents play the holdback game. However, if your kid is on age, a slow grower and can handle playing against the reclass crowd he will be better for it in the end.

There are advantages to being short at the attack position. Easier to dodge, easier to draw penalties, and closer to ground balls.

But that age is 19 on Sept 1st of their senior year...which puts them at least 1 year older and sometimes 2 years older than their peers who did not hold back. Do not think for a moment that those hold back have not done the calculations themselves. So they can be 19 for their whole senior year of high school!

A player needs to be
Big
Fast
Smart (LAx IQ)
Smart (Grades)
Strong

or be atleast 4 out of 5 of the above..

Not Big, better be fast and off the charts strong.
Not Fast, better be big strong smart and have skills
Not smart on field better be the next UA model who runs a 4.65, puts up 225 8 times and have killer grades and skills
dont have the grades... better be an athlete who is choosing between football/basketball or lacrosse at a top Div 1 college.

but there is always a place for a player who wants to play.

Sad day. The man who invented the red solo cup passed away.
He had no idea how influential he was to lacrosse sidelines.

It' is also a sad day when you see parents at youth lacrosse tournaments walking around with their red Solo cups acting like their kids play for Delta House. If you can't watch a youth lacrosse game without boozing it up stay at home. No wonder lacrosse has a black eye.

Crush, Sweetlax, Looneys, FCA have the most. They all probably also have a bunch more that aren't listed but committed to schools like Duke and certain Ivies that don't allow commitments to be announced yet

It's their policy. Some insist the kid has a full year of freshman grades. Some are waiting for 1st semester. There are currently kids verbally committed to Duke, Yale, ND,Penn and Harvard who are not alowed to go public yet.

Why? It's been this way for years. If you were knowledgeable in how Ivies work you would not make that statement. Princeton and Brown have allowd the early announcement but other schools have their own rules. In the past most Ivies didn't allow the announcement till Jr or even Sr year, so they are relaxing the rules a bit, but some may make the kids wait at least another year. You will see a few more announced after the 1st semester grades are in, and a bunch at the end of the year. Know of at least 5.

At this point, it would out the commits. The decision to announce isn't easy, trust me. Almost wish we were told not to. . .wouldn't have to deal with the obnoxious uncommitted 18 & 19 parents who feel comfortable questioning our son's very rational decision.
