[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Club leagues, e.g., HoCo, need to strictly enforce US Lacrosse's Sept 1 cutoff. Similarly, club teams should avoid tournaments that aren't sanctioned by US Lacrosse because this organization requires age verification.

Problem is that so may clubs rely on ringers, not much motivation to make the push.[/quote]

You'd feel differently if your kid's birthday was Aug 31.  It's a random date at best.

That "ringer" that you object to will be recruited for college in the class year he/she graduates, not based on a Sep 1 birthday.

Your argument would be better with some nuance, say age based through middle school, then grade based in high school, or something with some logic behind it.  [/quote]
Not PP -  Age-based in middle school makes especially good sense especially when you see 15 and even 16 year olds playing in youth games -  exploiting their size, speed and aggression on smaller, less developed kids - that's precisely why US Lacrosse recommends organizing kids by age, not grade (this ain't an educational program). Maybe these holdback kids should have birth month/year posted on their team's roster, stowing the hype of "how does this kid dominate..." when it's clear they are not playing w/ their age peers.[/quote]

And that is why US lacrosse fails to get rope teams to sanctioned events[/quote]
