But it does turn the sport into an elite select few of haves and have nots on the collegiate and high school level. As goes the cliche, it is what it is.

Reality is, if you want to play top D1 college lacrosse now… you will probably need to holdback. Develop more! Check out the top recruits! Majority are holdbacks that are the top recruits. Sad facts, but true. Just the way it is now.

This is true for a lot of sports. For instance, if you want to play D1 hockey, you almost always have to be a holdback. But in hockey, they play as per birth year as youths. The holdback infrastructure is not incompatible with age-based youth play.
