his team is full of 14 yr olds just like the rest. I personally dont know any kid 15 yet so as i see it there is no advantage?
kids who did preK i would hope like us was not done for sports but academic and not to gain an advantage in lacrosse 10 years later. Having that "summmer birthday" put him on the other end of the spectrum all through Rec leagues - tykers and lightning and even i year of midgets he was always playing against kids a year or so older so i guess now it just evens out in club. He never complained and it helped him to be able to play at elite level now.
the attack on programs or parents is unfair but should be directed toward those who govern the game and make the rules.
So what should be done with the players born in summer who were never heldback?? Your son and others that were heldback get the advantage, shouldnt all children in youth lacrosse get this advantage? or just a select few.
Once again, No one cares about why you did prefirst and held you son back from going to first grade. That is your right as a a parent. But it does not give you some special rights in youth lacrosse later on to get an advantage others dont. Once you get to HS, enjoy it.
