Looneys, Crabs, FCA - all the same. Where reclassifying your kid is a time honored tradition.
Which clubs don't allow hold backs and only go by age? Serious question.
You know the answer to that. None of them
This is true, all clubs have holdbacks, some more than others. Crabs at one time was the only program that built it's teams around holdbacks. As soon as the grade base system was implemented Crabs figured as way to game the system, got many players to reclass and would seek out players that they knew were reclassing. Others, such as FCA and Looney's etc. had holdbacks but did not seek them out, if you made their teams and were a holdback that was fine. Now it seems Crabs is loosing its luster and FCA is closely becoming the leader of holdbacks, but I don't think they are going after holdbacks the way Crabs did, they are just moving to FCA. Like it or not, holdbacks are a part of youth lacrosse and it will stay this was until so0me higher authority in youth lacrosse chooses to change back to age base. It is what it is.
