Another consideration for all please; if the opposing team has a really big kid that is also very skilled please do not assume he was held back. I am living this. My son is currently a head taller and more skilled and athletic than most he competes against. I'm well aware things may change in the future. Most opposing coaches walk right up to him and ask him his age and what grade he is in. That however is far better than some of the parents yelling to him "how many times have you been left back", "what grade are you supposed to be in". He is of age and sensitive and hears it all. US Lacrosse. Please fix the sport to age based at youth.
