I have heard all the rhetoric about the St A's holdbacks or holdback. One out of fifty kids on the team. Certain Chaminade supporters have gone on and on about this. I have one question. Does Chaminade have any re-classes/holdbacks or kids who started school late?

If they have one, this topic should be over. Before anyone accuses me of supporting holdbacks, let me say this; I wholeheartedly disagree with it and know it gives a kid an unfair advantage over others. My son is a late birthday and has been the youngest kid every time he has step on the field to date. But, I am also realistic and understand this is no longer youth lacrosse and every team, Catholic, public or private has players whose parents have gamed the system and given their kid and unfair advantage. Every team.
