If I am following you correctly, the 2027 playing in 2028 would play for the 2027 club team next year and just not play high school as they are in 8th grade next year. Then in 9th grade they play back with the 2028 and do high school lacrosse. Why is that a big deal?
Here is the issue. In spring 2024, 2028's who are too old under the new rules would have to miss their last season of HoCo, because they can't play 2028, and the 2027 class would no longer be in HoCo. Perhaps HoCo would grandfather that one class?
Then summer 2024 would be interesting because 2027 teams would be flooded with 2028's looking to play for just the summer. Those 2028 players are unlikely to join a team temporarily to ride the bench, so the 2028's would choose whatever level of play (elite, A, B) where they can be starters, which would push a lot of 2027's to the bench for one summer. Then in fall 2024, everything would return to normal. Whether or not these issues are a "big deal" probably depends on whether your own son is affected.
