.. Do you honeslry think being bigger, stronger and older doesn't give you an advantage in all sports including baseball, swimming. stupidly brought to a whole new level.. mixing of ages happens in all sports it's just you lacrosse parents who get their panties in a bunch. U9 Gil's soccer has 7 year olds competing with 10 year olds who have made the cut off.. Parents of the 7 year olds choose to have their talented little athlete push themselves against bigger, stronger older girls.. Until of course it's recruiting time in 8th or 9th grade and they will play soccer against players in their grade and no longer play up to get noticed and recruited.
Soccer you are ONLY allowed to play up NEVER allowed to play DOWN. Soccer has a very good player card system at the competitive level..Not like Lacrosse where it is ok to play down ..BUT Only if you are a HOLDBACK....Still have the option to play up..but that is rarely seen and Never seen by holdbacks or apologists of holdbacks.
