I'm a parent of a U13 crabs player and now U15. The program guarntees no spots year to year and this U15 team was selected in the same manner. Only 6 players from U13 were moved up the others went to programs in the Balt area such as Green Turtle, Annapolis Hawks and Lax World. By selecting the teams fresh every yr certainly is hard for the boys and parents but accepted by all who respect the director for not "grandfathering players" yr to yr there fore loosing credibility. The coaching is outstanding and the expectations are high. As far as age goes they run it by the book I know first hand. Other programs in our area (Va based) pulled some fast ones last season in a couple tournaments as they had players from their U15 team come down and play against the U13 Crabs. I dont know if they were over age I would hate to think so. Crabs had 3-4 players playing U15 who were age appropriate for U13. If they came down and played in those tournaments it would have been ugly.
