Got awful quiet here since us club lacrosse put out the survey questioning the problem with holdbacks
The IG post on the topic was like the Upside Down and demonstrates that it's just a show. Numerous coaches who actively seek out holdbacks over on-age kids were sharing that post to support on-age kids, and parents/coaches who have literally held their own kids back specifically for sports, were all over the comments about how holdbacks aren't fair. Look at some of the accounts and coaches' names. Hiding in plain sight.
It is strictly kabuki. Nothing will change, but they know to be responsive to their customers, they have to appear concerned about it.
"Let's get rid of holdbacks. But You First!" in other words.
