my point is why a parent would even have their third grader or whatever age the child is try out? If it's a 2015 team, if you're daughter is a 2018 child, why are you having your daughter try out for the team. It's youth lacrosse...these are the same caliber of parents that insist their child is too good to play with their age level so they have to play one or two grades up. Oh, and the challenging issue...please. You realize we're talking about eight year olds. If they're THAT good that they can't be challenged by their peers, have your superstar put the stick in her weaker hand. What happens when the older team she played for for years ages out, then what, she just hops down to the team she should have been playing for all along? and takes a spot from that team. |
