That is being generous..More like C + . combine them all into one all star team and you might have a B + team.
If you combine all the Maryland 2023 All Star's you would have a 2022 team
If you are referring to the "Flat Brim 2023 Team" then Sorry - the Tampa tournament is age based and all kids are on age. I actually like Flat Brim and the kids who can play love him. Stop hating!
So they found a tournament that allows older kids to play. Good for them. Tampa: Age Eligibility
For youth divisions (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026-2027) the age cutoffs are as follows:
2026-2027 (10U-9U) - Born on or after 1/1/2007 2025 (11U) - Born between 1/1/2006 and 12/31/2006 2024 (12U) - Born between 1/1/2005 and 12/31/2005 2023 (13U) - Born between 1/1/2004 and 12/31/2004 2022 (14U) - Born between 1/1/2003 and 12/31/2003 2021 (15U) - Born between 1/1/2002 and 12/31/2002
This tournament may be age based but it does not line up to schools calenders. Every other age based tournament would not allow a January 2004 to be a 2023 player.
Here are the US Lacrosse Guidelines:
Born 9/1/2007 through 8/31/2008 10U 4th N/A Born 9/1/2006 through 8/31/2007 11U 5th N/A Born 9/1/2005 through 8/31/2006 12U 6th N/A Born 9/1/2004 through 8/31/2005 13U 7th N/A Born 9/1/2003 through 8/31/2004 14U 8th N/A
The rest is the wild west with no grade rules. I actually do not have an issue with players playing others a few months even a year or two older. I just have an issue with teams having different sets of rules or cutoffs.
