What is the LI Birth Date ranges for a "True" 2018 player?
a "true" 2018 is a child currently registered in 9th grade that is scheduled to graduate high school in the spring of 2018. The "Normal" birth date would depend on the individual school districts cut off date, as far as I know most are December 1st but many, many kids that are born after September first start a year later - this is boys and girl, athletes and non athletes. In My school district the cut off date is December first so a child born on or after 12/1/1999 and on or before 11/20/2000 would be a "normal" 2018.
US Lacrosse has set the cut off date as September 1st for their U based tournaments so under that guide a "Normal" 2018 would be born between 9/1/1999 and 11/30/2000.
No right answer to your question but circling back IMHO - a "true" 2018 is a child currently registered in 9th grade that is scheduled to graduate high school in the spring of 2018.
If you had a non lacrosse playing kid that was born 3/13/1999 as a premature birth with development issues and the parents decided to delay school for a year and that kid is in 9th grade they are a 2018 and if you had a kid lacrosse player that was born 11/30/1998 and then decided to repeat 8th grade and is now in 9th grade I would still consider him a "TRUE" 2018 because he is scheduled to graduate high school in 2018. I am not saying I like it or that it is fair, what I am saying is he is a 2018
if you are born in 1998, you are a cheater!.
no a cheater would be a person playing under a fake name or a doctored birth document - a kid born in 1998 and in 9th grade is a 2018 - a frickin' old one but a 2018 none the less and not a cheater.
Like stated previously, let's not go there. Keep with the fact that it is a 2018 graduating year and not age based.
Being 16 in 9th grade is cheating. No other reason to be there. If it is for academic reasons, I would slow down on the recruiting efforts. The good news is, they can drive themselves to summer school!
"is" in 9th grade, "is" 16 years old, "is" not cheating, "is" cheating, once again it all comes down to your definition of the word "is" a slick Willy classic.... But let's be honest, we all know you should be, at the oldest, a September 99 for a legit 2018. you can twist it all you want. dem's the facts folks. In the spirit of sportsmanship, this cannot be disputed. An attempt to state otherwise is intellectually dishonest.
