In soccer, they have validated the kids age. Older kids play up, regardless of thier "grade"! You get caught cheating the system your club is banned. It's the only way we're going to level the playing field.
BOTC agrees that a US Lacrosse (or other organization) Player Photo-ID and Pass System which clearly identifies the player age and associates that player with a specific club for the duration of the playing season would be a major step forward. This would be an absolute requirement for the proper formation of a premier elite league as discussed.
