I recall uploading a birth certificate for age verification for my son on US Lacrosse. Maybe I'm misremembering.
I'm not sure you're wrong or right, but when we re-upped my son's USL membership in August, we did not have to upload any age verification.
Last year for the Circuit we *did* have to upload age verification documents. Which was kind of silly in retrospect, because that specific Circuit event (Naples) ended up with completely broken and unrecorded rosters, multiple players playing down and playing for multiple teams, etc. One MD kid wasn't on a roster, but his brother was, so the unrostered kid randomly brought his stick/helmet/gloves on the trip..... and the unrostered kid ended up playing the whole event, as well as in the championship weekend, for the championship team.
Also file under: "Sure, tryouts are the legitimate way that teams build their roster."
