Team 91 is going to go from never making the playoffs and really rarely winning a game to challenging for first place. 4 kids held back in 8th grade for lacrosse. Proud moment.
If this is somehow shocking for any Team 91 parents, you simply have not been paying attention. Bye bye families who've been paying their way for 4+ years and being promised that "91 develops elite players" and "never cuts our players." You can either hold back, or you can go play for Predators or Sidewinders.
I'll save every parent here $1800 x 5 years of Team 91 fees with the following template "8th grade elite lacrosse placement advice" from MM and co.
1. Yeah unfortunately your son really only projects to maybe a public school or maybe an MIAA-C level.
2. However if you hold him back next year, not only would he easily make MIAA-A rosters, but we'd make a space for him on the 2028 91 team.
3. This is the way everybody does it. You either hold back or you're lying.
4. I know every MIAA Coach and we'll get you a campus tour (!!!!) at Gilman or BL no problem. If you hold back.
