Crabs isn’t run well. The kids don’t miss anything out of fear of being replaced mid season. I know Crab players at older ages that have been benched and then cut because they “missed” to play their in season sport.
To King Krab's credit, the policy is extremely clear and explicit when you join - this is your only lax team, period, this is your #1 sports commitment outside of school sports, and your #3 overall commitment behind academics and family emergencies. It's a written policy.
That seemed fool in 5th grade so we said no. Honestly it still seems fool in 7th grade.
Yes policy is very clear. You can’t miss any practices unless you are from Pennsylvania,Florida or Texas. Those kids can just show up on weekends and start. Crabs are only as good as the holdbacks and out of town kids on team.[/quote]
Yeah, tbh this is an interesting ripple in King Krab's No Exceptions Policy.[/quote]
Yes, I remember a few years ago there was a long rant by a Mom that her son was cut or benched from the team for missing a crabs game or tournament for a school band commitment, which prompted long back and forth between Crab supporters and detractors. It sounds like the band trip was a once in a lifetime opportunity to Hungary or someplace exotic like that. But I think the kid was told at the start of the season that he had to choose one or the other, and then the family tried to wiggle into doing both. The Crabs came off looking bad, but the Mom seemed like a Karen as well.
