Crabs roster and every other team's roster with birthdates will be public before the start of the season - guaranteed. The County Executive is aware of the issue. Ultimately it is the county's responsibility to ensure the safety of the children playing in this league. A signed waiver by a parent won't save the county from a lawsuit when some 16 year old crab holdback plows over a 13 year old.
We can only hope there are some adults over in the Howard County Recreation Department or Executive office. The County is disgraceful in their going grade base league when every other team/league in Howard County is age base. They will go down as one of the main reasons that youth Lacrosse is a disgrace now in Maryland. Wonder who was the tool who facilitated all this grade base league in County.
Some HoCo management personally believe in holdbacks and have relationships with the clubs who push it. Their kids are not the receiving end. They have the capability now with everyone in their league to affect change and they have the structure already in place to do age verification and cards as they do for football but they won't. The County Executive is not aware of any issue, or involved with, the lacrosse league.
