I would call out the parent at the draft for lying. I want the kids to have
fair experience and all the kids on the team would complain each time they played the kid. Just easier.

Lying about a kid's age? No. That is slimeball cheating.

Its 8 year old soccer, not D1 Football. We played a kid who had to be 120+ lbs

IN soccer that age, 1 older kid can make all the difference.

Policing other people isn't even the issue. Honesty and not being a dirtbag is.

THere are bigger dirtbags in the world to deal with then this guy

Oh my gosh. So what. That doesn't mean you don't call a spade a spade.

Everyone involved cares. Duh! Which is why there is a rule in the 1st place.

I don't cheat but I'm not going to police others that do. ITs not my job

I didn't say he shouldn't be disappointed, only that it doesn't bug me.
