[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When a player registers for NGLL, or any standard tournament, they are required to provide their date of birth, graduation year, and USA Lacrosse membership number.

Because of that, both NGLL and the tournament organizers would know if an older player is participating on a team. I highly doubt the player’s parents are providing inaccurate information on the registration forms.

At this level, I also doubt that NGLL or tournament organizers are particularly concerned if a team has one or two age-exception players.

My guess is that this happens fairly often across a number of clubs that are simply trying to fill out their rosters as competitively as possible.

My bet is that Pride falls into that category and is trying to field as many complete teams as possible (vs. intentional deception to win an NGLL B League game).[/quote]
I don’t think they need to put the graduation year for NGLL. The rules stipulate you cannot play down and are specific re what teams you can play up on (eg an A player can only play up on an A team, not a B team, etc). By submitting the roster, Pride would accept that they are following these rules. I think for Pride it’s a combo of a money grab and trying to make some weak teams better. At one point this year they had 26 girls rostered on their ‘30 team. They would have had more if they had not rostered a few on the ‘31 team, even though they were in 8th grade. Believe me, HS thinks she can outsmart the system and not get caught. The club has been going downhill since KM moved, so they’re basically grasping at anything to make them look better now.
