Just got back from a D3 school lax camp. They had a coach from a big time prep school there who gave about an hour speech on the benefits of holding your kid back and/or doing a PG year. He was basically saying if you don't do it you're doing your child a disservice. So that's the wave of the future.....
There you have it, example after example. Is there anyone now out there who actually believes the age "thing" is not a real issue with real consequences??!!! Total BS scam that is really hurting the LI lax kid. Does anyone really think that all of sudden our top team's just get caught up to? No, once and for all, our kids at the 8th grade level and up start to play these club teams from out of state, loaded with prep school kids, 1 to 2 years older. That's how they get a 16 yo on 2017 and 2016 teams. Because they go by grad year and not age. My neighbors kid is a 2014 rising senior and just turned 17 in June. Some kids on his team this summer are still 16... can you imagine how good those kids would look playing 2016 ball???
Just insanity...
