LI is using holdbacks now. Pot meet kettle.
That would be a scary day for many out of state teams if LI started reclassing kids. I do not think anyone needs to worry, we all saw what happened to a certain team full of holdbacks, clearly it is not a recipe for success. True talent and hard work will always prevail.
As for this tournament, no holdbacks in the whole entire tournament- as solid comprehension will lead you to understand, that you cannot be a holdback (left back in grade for athletic purposes or a late starting kindergartener) in an age based event as grade is irrelevant. Period. Age events in youth lacrosse should be the golden rule. Why is it athletes in other sports do not need their friends in their grade with them, but lax player mommies and daddies say that their kids should be able to play with their friends and therefore need to play with their grade????
