They were all 2018 teams....

You know what's funnier? That 2017's born in late 1999 would be eligible. And (ALL) 2018's born in 2000 like they are supposed to be , are all eligible!!

U15:

All players must be 14 years old or younger on the August 31st preceding competition. It is recommended that when multiple teams exist within a program, the program should consider physical size, skill, and maturity when organizing teams.

Guess it's different from soccer U15

That is so simple and is absolutely fair to everyone. Go to 8th grade 8 times for all I care, but put age equity back into youth lacrosse. I am sure ice hockey and soccer have their own problems, but not this problem.

I am still stuck and enraged at the silence. I'd like to read a letter to club constituents from Cabell Maddox and from Ryan McClernan stating their public position and reasoning. Both guys seems to relish being tough guys. Fast or last. Bigger, stronger, better t-shirt slogans and cliches. Neither guy seems tough enough to explain their position on this issue though. Going to grade based teams and leagues wasn't something the parents screamed and complained for. It wasn't a response to demand. So why did it happen?

Orioles making a run. hang your lacrosse sticks up. seasons over.

CRABS 2020 TEAM SLOGAN- "If they ain't shavin, they ain't playin"

Orioles.....a game or two over .500 right now

Stop complaining about hold backs. What kills a team is daddyball. Dads with sons on their team always skews towards their kid, most subconsciously. This will kill a team faster than anything. After a kid is on a team and the parents pay the fee its to late. Most parents who speak up get branded for complaining. No one wins, everyone loses.

Directors: don't get conned into letting this happen. Even when you know the dads, make it a club rule. The rest of the team will think you and your club will be stronger for it.

No it's Holdbacks

how bout dem Orioles!!!

I know a team in Hazard county that has a huge problem with this. Son plays attack and can not move. Team is man down on offense and on rides. Too bad. Feel sorry for the kid and the other players. Dad is doing him no favors.

Has to be Thunder....they make Looney's look good when it comes to daddy ball.

Orioles baby!!

Nassau Coliseum dude! The building that embodies Long Island.

Nassau Coliseum was the best spot for Grateful Dead shows in the 1980s. I think a hockey team used to play there too. I don't remember. Musta been the roses.

NY Islanders.

I'm certainly going to miss watching them play there.

I will too.. :'(

It sounds like you need to send Boss Hawg and Sheriff Roscoe P Coletrain over there to straighten the jacka-s out.

Although if you look at many of the top teams out there there is a father coaching whose son is on the team. Its probably a problem on the middle tier teams.

jealously will get you knowwhere

Or maybe "nowhere". Gotta love that Stony Brook education.

What is Hazard County?

Does Boss Hog's kid play for them?

No he is a holdback and plays for the Crabs. Now he is a 16 year old 8th Grader who can drive himself to the game. Enjoy the rest of the summer.

too bad Toronto upgraded their lineup Orioles fan only way they make the playoffs is that the Yankees collapse

jays making a push. I'm actually a jays fan lol.

Price is pitching in front of 50k today as its a holiday and a 1pm start. Glad to see baseball get popular after a 20 year break

Nice TV commercial in Baltimore market...good for Crabs, also good for club lax overall.
Good Job!!

If you are referring to 2020, the team is not from Howard County and played out of St Paul's.

Seen it soooo many times across many youth sports teams...Dad coaches (or is involved at management level) so kid stays protected from being cut or ensuring playing time. Its part of the deal with youth sports and always will be. However, if you know its gonna happen you can always pick another team for your kid to tryout for. Even if it doesnt effect your kid directly its poison for the overall team environment.

What are you referring to? Is there a link you can attach to the commercial?

why is this "good" for club lax? google crabs lacrosse facebook. link on fb page

Are you sure you weren't watching a promo for Family Guy

Crabs must really be concerned about 91! First they bend the rules as much as possible to win beach lax at 2020, now a commercial for youth teams.

The commercial is pretty lame. A decent HS video class could make a better commercial.

Does it mention that you have to hold back a year and be willing to manipulate the rules if you want to be a part of the experience?
