I really can't believe how pathetic the anti holdback/reclass parents are!! Who gives a Frkn rats arse if your "on age kid" or "on age" entire team has to compete against Edge or Crabs, especially since you say in the same breath "play up not down" to become a better player! I would rather loose 8-6 to edge then win 13-2 against "on age" supposed AA teams..i.e. Eclipse, DC express, madlax etc etc. And please don't give me the "it's dangerous" ..we are all competing with Juniors and Seniors now during high school ball. Not one dad of a talented player (committed or not) ever complains about older kids. It's always from a Dad who's kid has received no looks!
While this is a 202 board, realize that the on-age vs holdback issue goes down to younger boys where the issue is definitely a problem that is not present in HS age boys. Sometimes you need to open your eyes to the big picture, and not just see the microcosm of your own little piece of things.
