Were any of the fly ins hold backs?
Please say yes, BOTC would need a new server.
No. As a “fly-in” none of the kids are “hold-backs.” Ironically all the “fly-ins” mine included are undersized with the exception of our Big Middie who is actually still 12. As a midwesterner, I’ve also been recently “educated” on this term and the strategy behind it. Personally I don’t use the term. It has a negative connotation and then becomes a crutch used, when a team loses or performs poorly. If it’s legal within the rules we’re all good. Personally I don’t agree with the concept but it never enters into conversation with my kid or any team we play against or on. We play whoever is on the field. Lax is hard enough, acknowledging “hold-backs” puts you in a negative mindset. You can’t win, overcome, with a negative mindset.
