How many 15 year olds will be playing at the circuit this fall/winter?
None. They have to be born after May 31, 2009 according to the website.
Nope Bid Dawg. From the Circuit Website:
“In the 2023-2024 Circuit (“season two”) all 2028 players who competed during season one will be grandfathered into the Circuit and we will continue with three waivers/exemptions at the 2028 age group.”
So 3 per team.
And beyond that, at the December Circuit event, rostering was WIDE OPEN. Known:
1. Multiple single holdbacks on almost every team (true at all Circuit events)....though I admit, many are probably summer birthdays and "not holdbacks acc to Circuit rules"
2. 1-2 double holdbacks on most teams (true at all Circuit events)
3. An unrostered holdback from a Hoco elite team in MD, played with Red Hots 2028. Though, again, he's a summer birthday so not a "Circuit Holdback"
4. An unrostered holdback from a *2027* Maryland team (that's right, a 2026 age class), played with UNRL National.
Is the Circuit really policing any of this? Highly doubt it.
