My son plays for the Crabs and I agree that any team that has holdbacks is going to have an advantage whether it's 3 or 13 players on the team. If you truly do not agree with grade based teams you should have the same disgust for all teams with holdbacks not just the Crabs or your point is not valid. I have seen negative statements about a pre-k holdback for academic or learning disability reasons and that must be out of ignorance. When you look at the success of the Crabs teams prior to the transition to grade based teams wouldn't you see that they had the same success or even better prior to 2013? Didn't the 2014 Crabs team that didn't lose more than a game or two in 5 yrs compete as an age based team?
