Why would a Looney's parent be jealous? Crabs and FCA, two of the biggest violators of holdbacks in grade base youth lacrosse and just all around cheaters, mixing teams to suit People just get over the hold back thing for crying out loud! HoCo created the Holdback Division for the 2020's so those teams could all compete against each other. Every single team in that division has them. Accept it. Move on.



Crabs, FCA, Looney's, Team 91, Hawks, Rising Sons - they all have hold backs. That's why they are in the Elite Holdback Division! The good news is now the teams in the AA division, or legit age for the grade division, can't point at the hold back issue as a reason for teams winning or losing.


I do not believe anyone is saying none of these teams in this new division has no holdbacks, all of them do to an extent but not to the extent of Crabs. Their 2020 team is very close to a 2019 team, they clearly violate the spirit of grade base lacrosse and this is the business model of Ryan McClernan. If you are at all familiar with this age group/teams you know Crabs is the most disliked and disrespected team in youth lacrosse. Not because of their record (wins/loses) but because of how the "game" the system. There is a two year age limit in the new US Lacrosse guidelines for grade base, using the oldest player on the roster. Using this new model Crabs would have around 3 or 4 that would not be eligible. 2020 grade base is using U15 and this is where Crabs would and should lose players. 2020 teams should have a roster of 13 and 14 year olds, not 15 year olds or older 14's turning 15 sometime during the spring season.
