What we can not argue is the Crabs where the best club in MD when things where age based. I really do not think this is up for debate. So when things went Grade based the best players where still going to the Crabs. Once he saw how well the holdback game works I am sure he liked it. The holdback game for sure pushes really good on age players off the top teams this is a fact. So I do not think the Crabs will ever not be a top team. So if it goes back to age based the on age kids will go back to Crabs. They might be weaken but as you see on other forums all the clubs in the hot bed areas are being weaken by the total number of clubs. I would love for someone to count but I would guess the total number of clubs playing today is 5 times more then 8 years ago.


And years ago, those teams and players were respected for their talent. Today there is no respect for Crabs because of how they got to be so good in this grade based environment not to mention the behavior of their owner. The blue and yellow only means one thing - that they will do anything to win regardless of the impact on other kids and the knowledge that they have manipulated the rules. The families that join them now are not in it for the best training, good coaches or any of the other excuses they give - they want to be call themselves "winners **" and do not care what message they are sending to their child about sportsmanship etc.
