Somebody had a rough game last weekend. LMAO

Why is 1 year all of a sudden the max "reasonable" age difference? What's wrong with U12, or U14 teams? What about the middle school kids who play on mixed grade teams? Should we ban them too?

The holdback thing has been addressed. The whiners won. Now go outside and touch some grass and celebrate. Maybe if you still aren't comfortable with playing against older kids you should find a nice town league to play on and leave everyone else alone.

Got it, your son needs to play down to compete, cant compete against players his own age. You holdback apologists are all the same, excuses excuses , I like the " play against older kids ( while you play down , LOL ) " . One year age, what does that have to do with having players compete at same age? Only in Holdback minds. The system was fine when it was U9,11,13,15,,, No one complained except private school holdbacks whose little johnny couldnt play down. Now go pick up your trophy for playing down, you deserve it.
