So are the Crabs doing any indoor leagues? (Please stop whining about ages or move it to a different forum)
Everybody will stop whinning when the Crabs stop telling us how good they are with a team that is loaded with holdbacks. It is an issue that the Crabs favor and the majority of lacrosse parents think is unfair at the youth level.
Every club has the same rules. please whine on the Age verification forum.
No Ryan.. The Crabs are the MIAA holdbacks club of choice. Due to you and a few other clubs that get this advantage we have grade based teams instead of a U9,U10,U11, etc.You are the type of person that gives youth sports a reputation of being disgusting to many people not only in the lacrosse sport but many out of sports. When they look at this and see an advantage gained by a select few along with Crabs getting a large share of these holdbacks,, no wonder average joe thinks of sports in a low way. I bet you are one of those that tells non sports people that you honor the game of lacrosse..
Exactly. The Crabs are the holdbacks club of choice. Not necessarily vice versa. Should Crabs not offer these kids spots? Crabs just changed to all grade based teams this year.
Jesus. If your kid can't handle playing against someone 5 months older pull him from lax and let him be a cub scout.
It is vice a versa..Are you that dense?? Crabs along with a couple other clubs were the major proponents of going grade base. Now follow this, that means that they want the holdbacks and were expecting them.
Your point is well taken that the Crabs were doing just fine with age based teams. But in last few years there has been an explosion in the amount of better quality teams like the Crabs. Crabs have a great reputation and are the club of choice for many MIAA kids. Going Grade base gives Crabs an upper hand in teams with the older kids at U13 and below. Pretty easy to see why Ryan would want grade base.If not grade base Crabs are competing for same age players and there are many more options at youth level than Crabs.
Lacrosse could use a few cub scouts but Scouts would change it back to age base. They think competition should be on an equal playing field, not letting a select group of kids get an advantage.
