If 2018-19 was their freshman year this would be their senior year.

Yes, and they could conceivably sit out a season and repeat their senior year

The New Season is quickly approaching - what are the preseason thoughts on the Top 6 MIAA Teams and why?

Why not just wait until they are 16 to enter pre K? Eliminate the need to drive them and you will be able to brag about academics and lacrosse. Do these parents not look in the mirror and realize what they are doing or does the glory supersede pride. I know that sweet sweet D1 lax future awaits but you have a slow poke for a child and everyone knows it and is laughing at you and your family. For maybe 4 years of college lax and it's gone. Pathetic on all accounts.

Dude. Let it go. No one cares what you think about how they raise THEIR OWN kids.

Us D1 parents are ok with whatever it takes to get there. Your future is at best d2 or Club.

"Future" = "Glory Days"

But let's be honest, these holdbacks need the help. It's why they hold back.

Thank you for proving my point. Good luck out there on the field in D1 Dad! It's okay you weren't good in sports.

The world will see your kid for what he is? A college graduate with "D1 lacrosse player" on his resume? Really persuasive argument against that...

Yup my kid will be in the work force 2-3 years ahead of the hold back who rode the bench at D1 as a 25 year old senior, but hey, he played D1!!!! Woohooo!

Everyone knows why these kids are celebrating their 21st birthdays as college sophomores.
it's not because they are the best or brightest.

Boys who are “ held back” earn 35-40% more over the course the duration of their lives then non hold backs.

I have a son who was diagnosed with a learning disability in first grade. Never once have I thought of him as “defective”. School has always been hard for him. He doesn’t tell many people that he has a learning disability. He just keeps plugging along. Athletic success has provided him with great confidence. He is playing D1 lacrosse. We are so proud of him. Please don’t ever refer to a child who has academic challenges as defective! It is cruel! I hope to god you never have a child who has some type of disability!

Yeah that dude is deeply disturbed.

Whoever you are - you care way more about other people children and people in general who don’t care about you nor even know you exist.

Just enjoy your sons career. Show up root hard and have fun.
