What real parent would be envious of a family that lets their kid play for the crabs? Everyone involved with competitive youth lacrosse knows what a complete arse their owner is as well as his holdback scheme. Age based classification with put an end to the Crabs perceived dominance. House of cards...
Who said anything about being envious? No one cares. No parent should have anything to say really, because I guarantee that if you are in MD, there are holdback kids on your kid's team.
Age based lacrosse is a thing of the past and never coming back. Regardless of what USL tries to tell you and no matter how much the coaches pretend to want to change early recruiting. It's not happening.
Is your kid 8 and your new to club lacrosse or are you ignoring the fact that Crabs was actually more successful when things were age based?
We will see about the age never coming back to youth lacrosse. If NCAA changes recruiting to Jr HS next year. Who will care about 16 year or even more likely 15 year old children beating up on 14 year old children. No reason as there will be ZERO recruiting going on in children heading to 9th grade.
The 9th thru 12 HS teams will be a better place to recuit. By that time many kids have hit puberty. Still some advantage to being older but no where like when children were prepuberty..
Now Crabs and maybe a couple more will want it to stay as will the Holdback parents.Hopefully the rest of parents in Maryland wont . LI will be age like always..
I can assure you that the recruiting rules aren't changing. It's all lip service.
