Crabs make money on tournaments, not the rosters.
They make a B teamusually because they have a coach they want to keep whose son is not good enough to make the Crabs teams.
Unlike a club like Madlax, they are not fielding multiple teams per grade, although they could easily do so.
Madlax has kids from the 2nd team make the top team all the time. The second team plays in good to some great tournaments. Madlax makes money but puts out a great product. 1996 to 2016. I would rather have them make money then play for a club that produces no results and you never know what you will get from year to year. Keep hating them for offering good to great team at all ages and putting all these teams in the best or really good tournaments.
The A teams are all generally good to great. The B teams are all generally terrible (as most B teams are).
Everyone knows the only reason to have a B team is to make money for the club (or one guy in this case).
actually they needed to field another team so that the real 2021s could be on one team and the 2020s that are repeating 8th grade could be on the other team...
Ok that is fine with me. There is a need that has to be filled. Madlax is not going to the school and telling them to hold this attackman back a year. But there paying customer is. Do not blame the gun blame the gun holding it. And the guy holding it is the parents not Madlax or Crabs or FCA.
From what I heard:
1. Madlax has a 2017 kid who is a senior in HS. But he thinks he will PG a year, so he played last summer on their 2018 team and continues to do so.
2. Madlax has a 2017 kid who gave a verbal commitment and is going to graduate this year. But he has spent the last 2 years on their 2018 team.
3. Madlax has a 2018 kid who thinks he will PG, so he is playing on their 2019 team now.
Nice.
