Where I live, rec lax (spring league) is age (Sep 1st cutoff) and club is obviously birth year...is that the case in other areas?

Yes. All club teams are grade based. You can see which teams have the most hold backs. If you look at the rankings of youth club teams the higher their ranking the greater number of hold backs. In other words, the number 1 ranked team has the most hold backs.

Sad but True statement in the world of lacrosse now. Holdbacks / prefirsts rule Youth Lacrosse...so sad..

Lets not worry, USL will come out with another article on diversity or woman in lacrosse to address the issue. lol
