let’s be honest… He’s likely talking about crabs. Crabs does not tolerate players playing on any other team. It doesn’t matter if there is no schedule conflict.

I get it at the high school, but in middle school, that policy is just wrong.

Yes, you need to give your home club priority. But if the schedule allows the player to play elsewhere and he wants to do so, there should be no reason a youth sports organization stands in his way.

Not true. If the boy is a student - crabs absolutely will look the other way. Happens on each high school team. Only if not a student will King Crab have issues.

As opposed to the non-student 24 year old auto mechanics that are guest playing for Crabs?

Cpme on ... King Crab likes them old, but 24 ? that's a stretch , Most I have seen him have in HS tournament was 21 .. So there is that going for him.
