Any team in violation of the above roster rules will forfeit all games in which the ineligible player has participated and forfeit any opportunity to advance to the playoffs.

Given that there were documented current 8th graders on the Crabs team they were clearly in violation. What say you Aloha?!?

Aloha isn't going to do anything. Nobody is in grade 2020. They have a graduation year of 2020. If the boy is going to 8th grade next year he is eligible. If you think that is crazy than don't schedule your team to go to tournaments without an age limitation or don't go to tournaments where the Crabs play. The reality is that holding your son back can increase the likelihood of him playing in college. The Crabs cater this market. If you don't like it make sure your fees don't go to tournaments that facilitate that behavior. Everything else is just talk.


My son is born in late 2002, we've already decided that he'll do a year of post graduate school at a prep school, so technically he'll graduate in 2021. Should we reclass him as a 2021 now?
