They have at least 5 freshman on the team, according to the LE parents talking at NLF this past weekend. It sounded like the on age parents had no clue this was going on until they got to the first practice, Ridiculous....

Where did you get this info. If true wow


Frist, off its Fall ball. Are you sure it wasn't "our 22 Goalie couldn't make it so we had to pulled down a 21 so we could play?" Most clubs would pull up their 23. Yes, they have 10 to 12 holdbacks.. the "freshman" holdback could be at Pingry taking 8th/9th classes but technically be in the 8th grade.
Regardless Leading Edge is now 91 so it should get cleaned up. Unless 91 lets it continue.

Fall ball has nothing to do with it. I was talking about the rule interpretation. LE on age parents were talking about a bunch of boys. They thought their sons had a fair chance at playing time. Not even close when they found out their kid was competing against 15 year olds. Not just the Pingry students...what about the seton hall kid and the others arriving in the spring. This is a bastardized version of hold back. Maryland doesn’t even sink that low. I hope it’s worth it. Wins against kids 2 years younger will not get you anywhere.


The whole "I intendd to repeat a grade" or, even better, "I intend to do a PG year" LATER, so I can down NOW is not new - we were posting about this here on BOTC last year or maybe even the year prior. Age-based play can't happen soon enough!
