Yeah, figure this will happen. Anyone who thinks this age thing will keep teams together is clueless. If you have the age cutoff at June 1, kids will be aging out RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER SEASON. They should have used birth year, period.

So much hand wringing and pearl clutching. In just the last 90 days, youth lax has moved from:

"we love double holdbacks...it's how we show that we develop players! Sure he has a mustache, thats normal in 5th grade."

to:

"state education birth years plus 90 days."

Almost all the 2028 reclasses left their 2029 teams after tryouts this summer. Youth lax will look a bit different and more fair, going forward. Is it perfect? Maybe? Yes? No? but take a deep breath already.
