How are the 10 on age Crabs kids / parents going to feel when they are told / asked to reclassify if they have any hopes of making the team this Fall? Yes - there are some victims due to the selfish behaviors of those that can.


As a parent of am on age carbs player, you know the deal when you start playing there. If my son gets cut in 8th grade for a holdback, or just b cause someone better on age shows up, he'll go somewhere else. Don't sign up if you aren't willing to deal with that possibility.
