The MD talent pool the Crabs pull from is much deeper, but there are also many more clubs fighting for the same kids.

Madlax has most of the best youth kids right now, but those kids leave Madlax in droves once they reach HS.

The Crabs used to have a monopoly on all the top MD kids. No more, but it is still impressive how good their teams are given the competition from other good clubs.

FCA has closed the gap on the Crabs for the elite Baltimore kids, but the Crabs also draw the best kids from outside the Baltimore area that are willing to make that commute to play for the Crabs. Crabs have more kids from all over the state and that makes it easier for them to restock / reload every year.

Crabs also practice more than the other programs and play more games than the other programs.

All of the top programs have their share of holdbacks!

All the top programs do not necessarily have their share of holdbacks. What age groups are you referring to?

Looking at the Crabs roosters ..I notice many holdbacks that I know from my sons school.
Crabs will get the majority of holdbacks. It is a star program to MIAA school kids.And that is where the majority of Balt holdbacks are located.That along with many holdbacks parents having sports in mind, and where is top program??? Crabs ....I don't know many 4th-8th grade kids and parents that wouldn't want their sons on Crabs. Crabs will have strong youth teams this year especially with all these holdbacks. No one else will have near as many. Would bet my salary on it.

Holdback are the only way crabs win. Parents should be so proud having their son beating on younger teams.

Last season's U15, 2017, 2016, 2015. Now that the teams are class based the holdbacks will be littered throughout various class based groups. Previously it was only a factor at U15 and above (HS).

The elite teams will have the most holdbacks and will create a greater disparity between the haves and have nots!

For the spring leagues, the clubs are still fairly regional with Madlax generally the best in doc, crabs best in Baltimore, and hawks best in annapolis.

When we were younger, the better players whether late birthdays or hold backs always played their age (Vitual Reality cals it playing up) not their grade. At least those who had aspirations of ever playing in collage regardless of the sport.

Why aren't the coaches telling the players "sure, hold back and we will have a spot but you better play at the level..." a level that challenges you the most. I don't get it

wont they be playing against a year older in college anyway

Yep have a kid with a spring birthday (young) 2017 with offers, as do many of his age appropriate team mates and friends. The only hold back with an offer I know probably needed to stay back because of grades. I don't understand why a parent would think a kid who can't hack 9th grade will do well at a competitive school playing a D1 sport.

I think certain clubs like to make sure they always win. If that means bringing in ringers, or holding back, or both, so be it. It is good for business. Who cares if some of the holdbacks waste time and money and end up not playing at the level they were promised. Club owners have a big reputation and money in the bank.

If parents want to buy into it to say their kid plays D1 lax, so be it. Just remember it will be difficult to get a ringer to take Junior's SATs, get him of his suspension for drinking or fix his GPA. The option, suggesting your kid work harder, train harder and hit the books is difficult for some to imagine so the open a checkbook instead.

Do the breakers own Aloha? (Or vice versa)

I think NPYLL is spreading around their fall tournament. Last year hogan ran it and the the year before Madlax ran it.

Many of payments to Breakers are made out to Aloha Tournaments. Breaker teams are required to attend Aloha tournaments.

Elite baseball clubs are just as bad. Plus you have all of the repetitive motion injuries if your kid is pitching.

Just have him play whatever he wants until it stops being fun.

Nothing is worse than lacrosse parents. Baseball has some crazies, and to be fair if you are good enough at baseball you can go to college for free or make a legit living at the sport. Misguided to do anything except for the kid's fun and fulfillment to be on a team and make friends...but at least in baseball the crazies are explained by the possibility of riches. In lacrosse your kids can hope Lacrosse Unlimited stores are hiring.

and lacrosse offers kids from baltimore, long island, upstate ny and a few other locales the ability to get your kid into a better college - ivies, acc schools, etc. recruit ~15 kids per year!

I tell my football and baseball parents all the time that the Lacrosse world is not about the free money. I am always saying the lacrosse parent sees lacrosse a a way to get your kid into UVA once they get that first B in 9th grade. Because you can not get into schools like UVA or better with a couple B's if you do not play a sport they care about. And we all know our kids by high school if you know your kid is not going to get all A's you go to the next best thing lacrosse.

There are opportunities to go to a great school and get a great education. The perfect lacrosse career is use the sport to get into an awesome school, then ditch lacrosse after first year of fall ball.
