Howard County Lacrosse League has come out of their fall meeting. They decided to eliminate eligibility for all birthdays prior to Jan 1, 2008 in the 2027 division and all corresponding divisions below with the Jan 1 date. This decision was based largely on the polling by USCL, the recent article by Inside Lacrosse and the overwhelming sentiment to put an age ceiling on their divisions.
Bravo!! The holdbacks who had no business holding back (already old for their grade) just got the boot. Should apply to lower age groups as well. Nobody born prior to 2009 should be eligible for 2028. Nobody born prior or to 2010 would be eligible for 2029, and so on…
