The real debate here appears to be should HS kids be allowed in 14U. Well that is the rule. But, I think it is a mistake for the HS kids that went to state to do 14U. We did last year, its not the same. To correct this, I think we need to do USA weights. Fixes the issues. I know it will never happen. People who's kids are at the right place in the age group would fight like crazy to stop it. And, whoever said top side of the age group doesn't count - just wait, you will figure it out unless you have a complete stud. That move from 8 to 10 is not easy and the move from 10 to 12 is very tough. This is especially true with our age groups, where you have 11 year olds with 13 year olds, huge difference in maturity.
