The prep schools have many many kids heldback, Grade base teams allowed these prefisrt/reclass children to play down as defined by USL age guidelines/ The teams in these three states have many of these players playing down.The best teams in these states are loaded with these holdback/prefirst players. These top teams would not be that good without these heldback players and for sure are not giving them up. It is a very simple why.

We are a top 5 MD team and have 3 or 4 players born between July 2003 and the Sept. cutoff which matches the cutoff for our schools. I suppose these kids are holdbacks, but the team decided not to go without them.
