Not surprised at all that Crabs do it.I was responding ""that clubs just deal with all holdbacks""..It is more than that when certain clubs encourage it. Of course they encourage it as they get the majority of holdbacks . And the most holdbacks on a team will result in most wins at the youth level. Most wins more prestigious the club...Levels out somewhat once players get to HS but at youth level makes a HUGE difference. Maryland and its reason for grade based teams should be on the HALL OF SHAME of youth athletics. Why USL doesnt come out with some strong statements is beyond me??
