This is a good question. Agree that timing is not ideal.

Age eligibility is contradictory as well. The US Club Lax "National Championship" eligibility rules state that U14 must be born after 1/1/10, which would eliminate a number of players on 2028 top 16 teams who were born in the fourth quarter of 2009. This would contradict USA Lacrosse age eligibility rules, which include September-December 2009 birthdays in the U14/2028 group. The next line says U15 (which should really be next season for 2028s; commencing September 1st) is for "Graduation Year 2028". They really need to clarify.

Will be an issue for lower age groups as well. Not clear why they wouldn't just use USA Lacrosse rules like Nationals.
