Color it how every you want but stealing from on age kids is wrong on every level.

So SAD about holdback situation getting even more prevalent. If you want your kid to play D1 in college, you will need to hold him back. 2x would be best! SAD

Not true. My 2022 kid just Graduated on age not held back heading to College in the Fall to play D1 lacrosse at top tier program. IMO the holdback argument is just a excuse when kids don’t get recruited.

Congrats to your son. He is in the minority of on age to be recruited on age D1. holdbacks are the greater problem from middle school upward. It is not an excuse, it is a fact. Is your kid good enough to play on age is the question this whole topic should always come back to. Thats the only question that should be asked of holdback parents/players. If done done for reasons other than sports that is a topic for another forum.
