Did LILJ just put everyone on the list that had paid for something from them in the past? Thats the biggest scam and joke in Long Island Lacrosse. Just pay them, you’ll make the list. Be selective at least. Some of those kids are very good and should be grouped separate from the rest. The majority of the parents on this board as well as other years for the boys and girls are guilty and quite notIntelligent to be spending a lot of money and making those guys rich. FOMO to the max! The players actually reposting and thanking them as well! How Ridiculous that they list about 50 kids at every position! If more would’ve paid and attended their events, that list would be double the size!

No one agrees with you reclass Dad. If they did the entire 91/Express teams would be reclassing rather than just a handful of kids. Reason why they don’t is everyone else thinks it is nuts! Literally not a *single* reclass hating parent is refusing to reclass his kid purely out of *principle*. Either (1) you don’t need to (because your kid is a student - sincere congrats), (2) you don’t think it’s worth doing (because it won’t help your marginal player, who is low level D1, or mid to low D3, or not even planning to play in college - nothing wrong with any of those), or (3) you can’t afford to do it (understandable, and no doubt the right call not to do it). So...why pretend otherwise? Why the moral preening? Just admit that other teams, playing by the rules, beat your son’s team. It’s not the end of the world.

2028 grade level has become a joke with all the K and 8th grade reclasses. 91, Express, Legacy, S2S reclassed are everywhere. What is a K reclass? lol. It’s a 5 year old that doesn’t start Kindergarten and starts at 6 yrs old. There are quite a few on the top teams. Has same effect as 8th grade reclass and more socially accepted but cheating none the less as they weren’t done for any other reason than athletics. What most Long Island crybabies don’t realize is that the most common cutoff date to start kindergarten in the US is August 1. The second most common cutoff is September 1. Some are in July, and some are even in June! You can look it up if you can muster the stamina, or imagine a world in which there are places on earth other than Long Island. For 8th grade and under, USA Lacrosse uses a Sept 1 cutoff for the 12 month grouping, and June 1 for the 15 month grouping…because they understand this. It’s not cheating for a kid born in June 2009 to have played 2028 lacrosse this past summer unless a tournament had its own cutoff. It’s not cheating when the rules SPECIFICALLY ALLOW IT. Duh. The dolts who don’t realize that NY has the latest cutoff in the country are the ones crying the most. Everyone in NY is well aware of this. You aren’t breaking new ground. We are complaining about kids on Long Island not out of state who reclass and who manipulate our states cutoff date for school to start (Kindergarten) their kids in school later than they should for athletic gain. You may realize this, but you are in the very small minority of people on Long Island who seem to realize it. You’re moving the goalposts, but complaining about a kid “reclassing" by starting school late is just as weak. The birthday cutoff is what matters. That’s the compromise that takes into account safety but also the fact that 48 states use a school birthday cutoff earlier than Jan 1. A kid born in May 2009 (or earlier) could have started school late, but still could not have played 2028 this past summer. If one did, that would fairly be called cheating. But the rules change again for 2028s this summer. The June 1 cutoff doesn’t apply going forward. Age restrictions were only implemented for the 2029 class and below. I don’t think so. It applied to 2028s this past summer. Basically, it applies each year starting Sept 1 of 8th grade, and ending Aug 31 following 8th grade, and all younger years. Last year, it applied to 2028 and younger. Right now, it’s 2029 and younger.

Unless your kid was born November/ December 2009 or had a developmental delay they should be playing with the 2027’s. That’s your opinion but hardly the reality. According to NY school cutoff date he’s absolutely correct, not an opinion. According to USA lacrosse, perfectly acceptable to be playing 2028 under both the 12 month grouping and 15 month grouping. Just wait until you hear about the recently discovered expanse of land west of the Verrazano!! Unreal!!

so what do you have to say to the holdback families of the #1pole (express) 2026 going to UVA and the #1 middie going to Notre Dame (also playing football) from Florida??? guess that was a wise decision!!!!! Both are actually double holdbacks. Also, if you take a poll of all the reclasses over the years, these kids represent a minority of “success stories”.
