Let the games be played.. give it a rest.

bandits then wolf pack these 3 are unbeatable

May of been 20 back to bed young boy

It's a fact. Lost in pool play and beat them up in finals. Your coach was going crazy!!

I know you don't want any facts getting in the way of your story telling but that's what happened.

Igloo ?! Absolutely not

Anyone going to fall finale in Jersey next week?

Weak out of state tourney.

You guys can't really be serious about this, right??? He's a kid. A fifth grader. Maybe he's old enough to be in 6th, but his parents elected to hold him back for whatever reaon. Do you think that he showed such lax prowess at 5 that the parents decided to hold him back so he would look good at youth lax tournaments? That's insane, and if you believe that, shame on you. News flash, just about every team has a kid that was held back. You're only complaining because this child happened to be good and beat you. News flash #2, if I'm a coach and need a win, my best player is on the field as much as possible. And since this child in question fits the limits and parameters of the team, he's playing. On LI, tournaments are based on grade. Nothing you can do about it. I watched that team in question... guess what, they're better than most teams (even in the advanced bracket). You people complaining need to take a good hard look at your own rosters and quit complaining about something that is allowed and prevalent in the sport.

Cheater

"News flash #2, if I'm a coach and need a win" .... gky. "need a win"?! are you insane? a held back 6th grader, who plays at the 7th grade level (because he's that good), suits up with a 4th grade team entered into a 5th grade division. ABSURD. PATHETIC. SAD.

You're a whiney [lacrosse]. Your kid probably sucks... thats why his team gets beat.

Yeah, and by the way, any suggestion he was held back for a reason OTHER than lax is pure BS. I agree we should not be talking about specific kids and I have no idea who this kid is. But I would bet anything that he was held back for an unfair lacrosse advantage. Not cool!

Yes, I am sure at age four his parents said, "Let's hold him back so he can be a badass on the lax field." Yes, that is what most parents are thinking about genius. How about physical, emotional, social maturity? How about cognitive development, speech and language, sensory development? How about we don't put ourselves in another parents shoes unless we know for a fact why their four yr old wasn't ready for K.

Fall Finale Schedule is out. Only 4 teams, Express, Outlaws, Igloo and some team I never heard of. We should have all just entered Havoc rather than driving to NJ and paying for hotels to play against LI teams and probably 1 other weak team. Waste of time and money.

I feel bad for the kids that have to explain why they were held back. It gives an edge to a team and that child being bigger stronger and faster than kids younger but it's still perceived as cheating no matter how many parameters it fits.

driving friends to school is more of a liability than a bonus but you seem to be reaching in most of your posts
