Hysterical the statement there is very little cheating going on. If your teams travel at all to tournaments, age and class cheating is more the norm than the exception. Other regions just don't grow kids larger than they do in this area. The kids talk both on and off the field and you will find 4-5 players per team on the more well known teams with older players both in age and class. There is no checking. Usually, those name brand teams need players to fill out their rosters and they get the older players to be more competitive.
The Crabs went to Sand Storm this past year and they were posting on social media. Someone forgot to tell them to omit the pictures of the older class Crabs kids playing and in the team huddles. Sometimes, a kid will say his parents are considering re-classing him but that's not allowed either.
Pay close attention to WSL. The rosters of those name brand teams are remarkably different and physically smaller than the teams you'll see in Frederica or elsewhere. I am pretty sure a team could challenge every roster in the out of town tournaments and find a forfeit in 75%.
