You can rationalize away all day long why your 16 and 17 year old with a drivers license is in 9th grade. Billy was a slow learner, summer birthday, etc. Just admit it - you held him back in the 8th grade along with a bunch of his private school/FCA/Crabs/Loonies pals in order to gain an advantage over on age kids so he could get a verbal commitment. OWN IT.

Age based classification in youth lacrosse is coming. Deny it all you want - but your little club of man children and obnoxious parents is in peril.
