[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^ "you don't think"  >> "You think 3..."

also, nice try in trying to get the girls thread going to bury this topic. MadLax people are awful. [/quote]

They are not 16, they are 15 but driving already.

If they were 16 they would be ineligible to play their senior years.

What do you think these kids should do? Not play? Maybe they are not that smart and we're held back.

The rules are stupid, graduation year is stupid.

But 3 hold backs are normal not extreme.

I don't support 15 year olds playing against 13/14 year olds but it's the league that created the problem. It use to be age not graduationyear. Then you had parents complaining about the cut off date and their kids being born to close to cutoff and playing older kids.[/quote]

You are really obtuse. A 15 year old in 8th grade driving with a learner's permit has the possibility of turning 16 in the next 2 months. MadLax has 3 of them. 
A remedial student who has a learning disability has nothing to do with what they do on the field. The 2 are unrelated. That's correct, I don't think they should play in the 8th grade division just like they won't be allowed to play as a senior in high school. They are too old.

These are not school teams. They are are clubs so the "class" category should have some sort of limit and a 16 year old or a 15 and 9 month old shouldn't be allowed to play in an 8th grade division. 
Maybe the parents don't know about the senior year of eligibility or maybe they don't care. I've brought this up with many parents and they didn't realize there was an age limit to play sports.

It's not a holdback. It's a double holdback or it's a kid born up to 11 months prior to the 9/1 guideline. Or it's a team of boys, mostly in the elite division, born before the 9/1 deadline. 
The league doesn't make the rules but they should put their foot down. [/quote]

If they live in VA the learners is 15 and 6 mo.

I'm not obtuse, I have lived it with hockey, lacrosse and soccer.

CYO changed the rules since "varsity" is 7th and 8th grade and 16 year olds from mater dei played 12 year olds.

Change the rules... complain to the league ... don't just bemoan this ridiculousness .... do something about it. It is not a rule created by Madlax.

Yes... the league makes the rules.

I doubt you have seen any of these kids birth certificates. Believe me, Prep and Gonzaga are the worst. They have 50% of their team hold backs and starting Freshman from other schools, who are barely 15, are playing against 19 year olds. It's pathetic. [/quote]
