[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s say a 2030 now has to play w/2029. When 2029 goes to high school, they play spring w/their high school. The 2030 has no team to play w/in the spring. Not every kid who doesn’t fit in the 15 month window was held back for athletic reasons. For all the kids that don’t fit into the window and need to move up, this applies. [/quote]

Still this is not the responsibility of the sport of lacrosse to find a home for this player.  Reality is that the player is still held back.  Those kids can still play with the club team in fall and summer events and may be eligible to play JV.  The idea is that hopefully these become more rare.  This is something any parent should consider when deciding to hold a child back.  Let's be honest many who hold back kids for academic reasons are also looking to game the system for an advantage.  Also no 2030 would be forced to play w/2029 instead a 12 year old would now need to play 12U instead of 10 U when they are already older than the other kids.  Years ago the spring club league in MD went by U15, U13 ect..[/quote]
