Crabs roster and every other team's roster with birthdates will be public before the start of the season - guaranteed. The County Executive is aware of the issue. Ultimately it is the county's responsibility to ensure the safety of the children playing in this league. A signed waiver by a parent won't save the county from a lawsuit when some 16 year old crab holdback plows over a 13 year old.
We can only hope there are some adults over in the Howard County Recreation Department or Executive office. The County is disgraceful in their going grade base league when every other team/league in Howard County is age base. They will go down as one of the main reasons that youth Lacrosse is a disgrace now in Maryland. Wonder who was the tool who facilitated all this grade base league in County.
There is no reason to post DOBs for a grade based league by HoCo and the Executive is not going to get involved with fixing a system that the others broke. You all know what youth lacrosse is about and willingly let your kids play. I am sure the county has consulted with their legal department on this issue and since there are no age restrictions being noted as part of the rules, , and they are not claiming to monitor age, nor is it gross negligence given it is standard practice, there is no issue that you can keep threatening them with. Call the County Executive if you feel there is a valid issue that you do not believe is being addressed. You do not have to be a county resident to pick up a phone or write an email.
