There is no one on the Crabs 2020 team that is 15. All of the players are either 14 or 13, including the 6'1" midfielder.
Did anyone notice the scores in the tournaments when the Crabs 2020 played teams that were 2018 and 2019? They still won by a lot.
Its fall ..I still am surprised that no one is 15 yet..But give it a few months and they will start turning 15 and by next Spring and Summer your statement will be completely false..They will have plenty of kids 15...All the prefirst kids will be 15 on 2020..And spare me they are only summer birthdays. We all know better... And in Crab land it is optimal for 15 year old kids to play against 13 and 14 year old kids..RM said that is the Crab way,,,
When you get to high school and college, no one cares. As long as you meet the age requirements and are good enough, you play on the same field regardless of holdbacks or not. Plenty of playbacks fizzle out when the younger kids grow at age 15 or 16. If your kid is good enough, he'll be a star, if not, he won't. If you're a can't miss star in a top high school league, a college coach will find you.
You miss the point of many posters. The problem most people have is playing down with all these holdbacks/reclassify at YOUTH level. it is not in the spirit of youth athletics,,Get your advantage when you get to your school. Whether that be MS or HS, youth sports was not meant to give a select group of children a advantage, Yet that is what is happening now...A select group and only a select group gets to play down ...
