Looking at the Hershey tournament schedule for the 2020s - notice Hogan has his 2020 team PLAYING UP in the U15 division. You would NEVER see the Crabs organization do that....
Kudos to Hogan
It is an age based division and they have summer birthdays so they HAVE to play U15 . They are simply playing them where they belong and following their owners rules. They do not have holdbacks on the team but they do have June, July and August birthdays making them ineligible for U13. They are NOT playing up.
Hawks Green is already playing 2020a - they can't put their A& AA together and their their ages align with the U15b. They are playing B-not A as a AA. They will do fine although their competition may not be thrilled. No second year 15s allowed in B either so this is the correct place for 2020 AAs with older kids and they should excel.
2020 Green is not playing 2020A and they are playing up, Green and Black could both be playing 2020A, but Green is playing 15B, 2020 Black is playing 2020A even though they are the B team in that age group and could probably fit into 13AA, 2019 Black is playing 15A even thought they are the B team in that age group and could fit into 15B, 2018 Black is playing JV, even though they are a B team in that age group, are all rising sophomores, and could play 15AA like other teams are doing. Never saw a rule about second year 15's in the guidelines, only 2nd year 13's. Give the guy some credit, he's not working it like some other tournament directors do.
The 2022 teams were pretty weak also, so Hawks 2022 is playing up in U13.
