LOL. Wait, MD Dad! Your son is so talented, he has to play down against kids 2 years younger to stand out? Who's not good enough? Now that's LOL, hahahaha. I have to ask? When you take your 15 year old home from a game... Do you say something like? "you really killed it today son, I'm so proud of you" Playing against those 13 year olds you really showed your stuff. I could go on... Hysterically funny, and oh so sad at the same time.

Kids attending private school are the only ones allowed to hold back for non academic reasons and in both regions they are doing it. Unfortunately, here in MD we have the Crabs who have tainted all of us - we dislike it just as much as anyone else but there are still plenty of parents who feel it is wrong and that the Crabs have ruined youth sports for all the kids. Problem is the hold back parents are just too selfish to see anything wrong with what they are doing.

The fact that these spineless cowards can't see the irony in calling age appropriate kids not good enough, when the only reason their little fairies are playing down, is because they couldn't cut it with kids their own age. Talk about raising boys with no balls. I guess just like the fathers.

I think ALL clubs should protest by not playing crabs when scheduled to do so in a tournament. then after a summer of no games they'll get it and just sign their team up for '19 bracket, where they should be and the world will return to order. 91 should bump their double hold back to their 19 team as well. 91 has a reverse double holdback - he is playing two years up on Crush and it is a well known fact. Who are you talking about on 91 with a double holdback. Rosters would prove otherwise. That would be a 1 year up player. Should play 7th grade clearly,as the birth year is 1st half of that grad cut off. Please stop with this! Team also have 2 kids that played on the 91 2019 team last year.

So I will start by saying I am bitter. My son was on the Crabs over the past two years. This year he was cut as there were many older boys brought down. Trust me when I tell you there are over 10 hold backs on that team some for academic reasons but many from the guidance of RM . These are facts there is no disputing this as my son knows all the boys Don't think we need more evidence than this

I have been a Baltimore County public school teacher for 20 years and I have written many many recommendations for students moving from public to private schools. In my years I maybe recommended a half dozen kids o repeat a grade. Most kids repeating grades are doing so solely for the purpose of sports (lacrosse) then academics.

So I guess you didn't visit the Huddle page the previous poster referenced. Or perhaps looked at last year's 2019 Crabs roster to compare with this year's 2020? JUST OWN IT. Why is it so damn hard for you guys? The post may be anonymous on this board, but the people posting are in the know. My son has played with and against the Crabs; knows several of the kids. It isn't rocket science.

A former 2020 Crab (last year) showed up at the tryouts for the team my son plays on and told us that his son was told by the Crabs coach, that they would love to keep him as a Crab, but that he would have to reclass to 2021. Because they didn't have room for him on the 2020 roster any more. He said that the coach told this same thing to another player and he did indeed reclass to say a Crab. This family decided to stay in 8th grade and will play for another team this summer. All I can say is people are NUTS

Here is a typical Crabs scenario. A kid who is a good attackman, class of 2019 at Gilman school. Ryan M convinces him to re-class. He repeats 7th grade at the Calvert school (k-8 near Gilman). Kid comes back, now 2020 and on the Crabs. Re-classing is my biggest beef with Crabs. Unfortunately he has two willing schools in Gilman and Boys Latin to aid him in this nonsense.

I don't know if that's a typical scenario, but it's a factual one in that the boy re-classed. My son played with the boy. Nice kid, good attackman. I can't say for a fact it was because of RM and not academics, but it doesn't look good. I'll leave it to others to throw the insults around.

Let's not be hypocrites. Maybe the reason more LI kids don't reclass is because as big as LI is it's still a small social network. What I mean is everyone knows everyone's business. A lot of gossip and word travels fast across the Island. That is a contributing factor.

Life isn't about taking shortcuts and finding loopholes. Morals, ethics, hard work are critically important life lessons (remember, characteristics youth sports were supposed to help instill). Also, maybe the LI boys have enough respect for themselves and have developed a sufficient backbone to recognize that having to play against younger boys to compete, just makes you a coward, wimp, weakling......it's a long list.

In 2018 NYS Leads in commits by a wide margin. Double the next state. What changes, stays the same.

Repeating the 8th or 9th grade allows the student to not only game the system athletically, but academically as well. It would stand to reason that the average student should be able to turn his 85-88 GPA into a 95-98 the second time around. Effectively duping the brain dead liberals that occupy the office space in admissions. Am I to believe, none of these "prestigious" schools look at the kids age verse their grade level? They don't ask: Is this the second or in some cases the third time this kid has taken these courses??? Perhaps at this point it is beyond the admissions departments comprehension that people would stoop so low to gain entrance to their name brand school. Who knows? It is clear that the strategy of recruiting 20 year old freshman is not panning out that well. Just look at the recent losses of the biggest offenders: UNC, JUH, UVA. Just five years ago these losses would never occur. Sooner or later the kid has to step up and play against the older kids...

Most credible studies conclude holdbacks for sports or academic advantage have a greater chance of failure in the workforce and have more psychological problems as adults. Parents should think twice before holding a kid back for the wrong reasons. The funny thing is parents who hold kids back for the wrong reason almost never talk to mental health professionals and make the decision alone with a lacrosse or other athletic coach. Crazy stuff. So I will start by saying I am bitter. My son was on the Crabs over the past two years. This year he was cut as there were many older boys brought down.

that's correct. His son has an early on-grade birthday while your son has a late on-grade birthday. A true 2020, 8th grade, in New [lacrosse] was born between December 1, 2001 and November 30, 2002.
