A couple of weeks ago Crush parents were puffing about winning a 2019 tournament when their own 2019 team didn't even make it out of pool play. Now you are questioning the mindset of some kids from Philly? Mindset? Why wouldn't they want to play a team that just won a 2019 tourney? If they were scheduled to play 91 2019, I'm sure they would have played them instead.

And Johnny didn't blow by the LI kid because he was a year younger. Johnny blew by him because the kid thought he was better than he really is and tried to "D up" Johnny at midfield instead of dropping into the hole. I guarantee both teams got better after competing against each other.


Most likely close to 2 years younger, but why even bother counting.
I ask again, why do you knowingly play down against younger smaller kids? How does your team get better doing this?
Have you ever tried playing on age? Perhaps you should schedule a few games against those scary 2018 teams from LI. You know, the one's the Crabs need 15 and 16 year olds to beat. They are the same age and size as your kids. I think we all know the answer to that question...
