I have a question. If an 8th grade kid was really outstanding and is so outstanding he could hang on with a 10th grade team, assuming his parents approved on the safety risk, would it help or hurt that kid recruiting wise to play up? Would it be better to dominate your age and grade, or would it look better to be holding your own against kids two grades up? The recruiting coaches would be seeing the same player but the context would be very different. I only ask because in other sports the gold standard is reaching as far out as you can go to play up. It is considered a notch on the belt that only few kids can be strong enough to hold on against older boys. Would that fail in lacrosse because the whole point is to look bigger and better than everyone on the field and the easiest way to do that is to be older?
