Kids aren’t 2 or 3 years older, maybe 11 months. That’s the way it goes.


If it were black and white, you wouldn't be so wound up and I feel sorry for your summer baby. The example of an age percentage is the best one. 20 kids on a roster gets you 20% or 4 kids above the 9/1 guideline. 25 kids gets you 5.

Every lacrosse region plays class based except for the Island. Time to get in line. No one is changing the class based system because there is no financial incentive for the tournament and league directors to do so just because you want them to.
