YES , please go check all the rules that you already agreed to. In fact double check them. Its clear they were not checked before you agreed to play in the elite level or any level for that matter. NO one likes a holdback but every team has them and they will continue to have them unless RULES are changed. Until then don't play if you feel you are being cheated. If a team is cheating than prove it . Holdbacks are a very small percentage just like the ones who consistently whine and cry that they are being cheated. My son and the rest of his team look forward to the challenge and have embraced any holdback on the team . If your still so bitter about this at this age group than I hope you player doesn't expect to play in High School.
I think everyone is sucking it up and playing with these rules. I just think most people would like to hear the people be forced to say "I am doing something shady to help my son get ahead" or something along this line. There are tons of laws I think are crap. I follow them but I still bring up they are crap and will sign anything to change these laws if given the chance. The the rule to allow kids 18 months older to play on the same field at the youth level is crap and we will call it crap. Even if our sons are playing on this field and under these rules. We will still call the rule crap.
