No one is whining, only giving more ammunition to work harder and play stronger because on age kids CAN! The crabs may win, they might have a bunch of early commits, but at the end of the day- do you really care that your kid is on a top team when you know the only way for them to be there is to play younger kids? If the kids on Crabs were so good, they wouldn't have to hold back. No one is fooled but you. Yes it irritates people that there is a loop hole to give players and teams an advantage, but at the end of the day- the rest of the people that feel the loop hole is unfair can pride ourselves for doing the right thing by keeping our kids on grade, with top academics and still making commitments to top D1 schools. I admire those kids that can do that while those that played on younger teams have a tainted- oh yay for them, but they couldn't have done it otherwise or they would have played their own age.

So just remember- you are only as good as who YOU are. And... YOU play younger kids! If you are so proud and think you are so good, let's see if you are willing to play with your own age and not younger kids. I'd love to see what teams full of holdbacks would look like if they beat a team at 2019 with age appropriate kids but then had to go up against the 2018 where the kids should all be playing as they are the same age. When you realize you can only beat the younger team you know you just are not good enough, or smart enough to make it without finding an advantage. Remember- if playing younger kids- you damn better be able to shine, or else the coaches know you can't hack younger kids either. Good luck to all the teams this year!
