Player for player the New England teams are older than Maryland teams.
True. The whole sport is an arms race for older players at every level including college, MD alone had 11 grad or 5th year players. It's systemic and USA Lax is toothless. The mega buck orgs run the sport and it's a wild, wild west s#!^ show. Rankings are many and vary widely based upon subjective controlling interests ... US Club Lax for instance. The clubs charge exorbitant rates in exchange for "development and exposure" - a.k.a. extortion. ... and the college coaches play along ... swarming like flies at NLF. As the next wave of suppliant parents enter the fray and scream about the reclass/holdback/late start older kids, know that no one in any position to influence change cares.
