Crabs supports the parents if that's what they choose to do. There's a big difference. The club does not tell kids that they need to repeat a grade to stay on the team. That has never happened.

There are 2 double holdbacks on Crabs at any grade. They are both on 2020. And they both repeated grades in elementary school for academic reasons. You can say anything you want, it doesn't make it true.


That is pure BS, Crabs does indeed suggest that kids repeat.
How about the middie on Crabs 2020 that goes to BL. On his mothers Facebook page it shows a picture of him, first day of 7th grade at Severn School, picture taken 8/2013. Another picture of him and his mother taken 12/2015 with him behind the wheel of the family car, mom in the passenger seat. He played for Crabs since at least 2013 and for the spring of 2014 and 2015 he played for Crabs 2019 team, yet this spring he is on Crabs 2020. Not sure when he transferred to BL from Severn and not sure what grade he is in at BL presently but this kid is older and if he has an early birthday he is most likely 16 years old. I have heard from both present and former Crab parents that Ryan McClernan does indeed suggest that players hold back and repeat a grade and here is a good example. RM is tight with BL and all of a sudden this kid is at BL from Severn School. And he lives in Pasadena. Md. And please Crab fans, don't even suggest he was playing up because that is not true and would be pure BS. I would not mention the players name, that would not be right.
