BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums MID-ATLANTIC LACROSSE MARYLAND FORUM Boys 2022

Since when did beating teams by more goals matter? I'm not a Crabs parent but winning is all that matters. An 8-7 game acquires you the same amount of wins that a 11-3 game does...

Crabs have played nobody and only beat 3D by 4 goals. Hawks beat them by 15. Don't put Hawks and crabs in same category.

What do y'all suppose is going on with Cannons

Fca and Diamondbacks also undefeated in Hoco. Koopers undefeated also in mpll.

Well, it all started last spring when they got caught using older kids by Breakers. Add to that that 4 of their best players are now on Hawks and you have your answer.

Ok Koopers' dad. You keep posting this. Enjoy your wins over Coppermine, Wolfpack, Rock and Lax World. Come back after your next two games vs Diamondbacks and Roughriders. You guys aren't even in the AA division in HOCO for god's sake. Stop coming on here and pounding your chest.

Koopers is undefeated in Hoco A division also

How do you know they had illegal players, this is the second time I've seen this on this board. I assume this is the second time by the same person

I would love to see the Crabs and Hawks roster with birth dates.

A bunch of reclassified players. HOCO should have ID system and go all age based.

Message for crabs you have beat nobody.

Message for crabs you have beat nobody.

So I'm sure the following clubs are happy to hear that they are nobodies:

Hawks
Igloo
Bethesda
Cannons
FCA
Roughriders
Philadelphia Freedom

They played Breakers once last year and lost 3-2
They played Diamondbacks once last year and lost by 4

Other than that, there is no team that Crabs has played and not beaten.

Holdbacks are born before sept1 2003

They are not. A holdback is a reclass. It is a kid who repeats a grade -- usually eighth grade -- for non-academic reasons. It is for the purpose of gaining an athletic advantage. A child who holds off beginning kindegarten because he has a late summer birthday is not a holdback. Ask any kindegarten teacher: he or she will tell you that boys are better off waiting if they are a late summer birthday. You might thing: what difference does a couple of months make. Well, it makes a tremendous amount of difference. If you know anything about development or have ever taken an developmental education class, you would know this. Particularly in the modern classroom where kindergarten is what first grade used to be. Students are expected to be reading! This is why pre-first came about in private schools. Kids simply are not ready for the rigor of the curriculum when they are months younger than classmates. It gives parents the prerogative of waiting until the child is ready so that they do not fail from the beginning. If you do not have the option and are not a private school person, you can opt to wait to begin kindergarten in public school if you are a late summer birthday. Do some research about school readiness. Any kindergarten teacher will agree it is advisable. And don't even get me started about a co-ed situation. Boys are typically a full year behind girls in readiness and maturity.

I would hope Crabs beat everybody if those birthdates in another thread are accurate. You have half of a 2021 team. I feel confident if half my son's team moved down and played on our club's 2023 Team they would lose a game either

Wow my kid is a 2022 and he's born beginning of September 2004. I see he's at a MAJOR disadvantage compared to kids on this board.

Don't bring logic to this conversation. Those parents knew little Tommy was going to be good at lacrosse when he got to middle school so they signed up to pay an extra $25,000 for him to go to prefirst because they knew he wouldn't be able to compete with kids his own age. HOLDBACK HOLDBACK HOLDBACK

I'm just saying it's a matter of semantics. I don't care if they go age-based. Just don't call a kid a holdback if he held off on kindegarten or did pre-first. It's not right to lump those kids in with kids who repeat eight grade at another school and already playing club lacrosse. Get real.

Logic has nothing to do with it. If you think that there are not MANY MANY children held back in kindergartner for the sole purpose to get an advantage, you are either clueless or have no child in a MIAA school... The advantage could be sports for some and academics for others...and of course some could use the extra time before going to First grade...Saying all that..Youth sports is for age and letting a select group get an advantage due to them holding their child back goes against all values in youth sports.
