Not angry at all, seems like you are the angry one for being called out and it doesn't sit well with you. As for a reality check, you really need this. If you think for one minute there are no holdbacks at the 2022 level, you are completely mad.
Crabs and FCA only offer a program designed to game the system and bottom line, how to cheat. Like was said a few posts ago, little johnny feels really good when he can dominate kids younger than him. And, the parents must feel so proud watching little johnny, "look dear, isn't our son terrific" while he plays younger kids.
Get a grip buddy, you are way off base and way out of your league.



Literally every club team from Crabs to Looneys from 2025 to 2020 have kids on their teams that many would consider "holdbacks" (mainly kids from Private Schools that did a pre-first year) Team to team, the playing field is level.. IF your son is at the younger edge of the spectrum like mine, he'll just have to work a little bit harder to compete at the AA level which is not necessarily a bad thing. What's next? Are we going to start complaining about kids that are maturing earlier than others? Hitting puberty earlier? Trust in your sons ability to work hard and develop the skills around bigger slightly older kids.. Who knows, by the time highschool comes around they may be better players than the kids that relied solely on their difference in size.
