Your 1st example, it’s not cheating according to the rules, but I’d be embarrassed if my kid did that. My dad would have been embarrassed if I did that 40 years ago too. The kids we were impressed with years ago were the kids who played up. Not vice versa. If a kid is held back for academic reasons, social reasons, etc. That’s fine, but that shouldn’t translate to youth lacrosse. Lots of kids like my son play football too. So are you supposed to play on age with one sport, play down with the other? It’s youth sports, play your age.
Exactly. Got to love the holdback parents justification as to what's cheating and whets not cheating. If you play your older kid against younger kids for an advantage - your a cheat. Doesn't matter what the rules loophole is. Save that Laxxt for HS where age doesn't matter.
The hold back parents have all these sayings...Chop wood, carry water, lunch pail kid, blue collar mentality.... these parents are full of Laxxt. They don't want their kids playing on age with blue collar kids.
