You are incorrect on both AAU and girls lax. AAU is going all grade based as well. My son was in a 4th/5th grade tournament last weekend and there were kids that should have been in 7th grade but had repeated a grade twice.

Nearly as many girls go to prefirst as boys. While you don't have the girls transferring in 8th grade like the boys, you still have teams that have a lot of girls that are a year older than the rest.

Again, you single out Crabs with this. If you think that FCA, Breakers, etc don't have any of these kids you are mistaken. I agree, the parents are taking advantage of the system, but are you saying Crabs should turn them down and let them go play for FCA or Breakers?
