8th and 9th graders shouldn't be hanging out with seniors in their cars, with boys and parties.
The youngsters just aren't ready. its about more than lacrosse.
I agree. It's 7th graders (12 yrs old) too!
Younger girls playing up means they share the field with the older girls, it doesn't mean they magically turn into upper classmen. The coach should control the environment at games/practice, on the bus and in the locker room, parents should control social activities outside of lacrosse. In a properly controlled program there should be no issues with younger girls playing up. If there are issues it falls on the coaches and the parents failure to monitor and control the situation.
