No one should go to any Hawks tournamends period until they stop bending the rules to help benefit them


Not a Hawks tournament


Who is bending the rules? Hoco and all major tournaments set the rules. ALL clubs take the very best kids that tryout & meet the rules as they are written. Bethesda area and Baltimore have the most holdbacks by far, so their teams tend to have the most holdbacks. Anne Arundel/Annapolis and Howard County have a few. Some clubs are much better recruiters than others, but they all go after the very best players regardless of their age.

If you don't like the grade based rules, play rec. No club turns down holdbacks that tryout.




HOCO or HOward COunty Recreation Department should go down as the one of the leading KING OF SHAME of LACROSSE. This public organization is the league that gave Crabs,FCA and the rest of the holdback clubs a place to play at beginning of this mess.

HOCO could have just as easily started a league of U10,U11,U13,etc, etc...like ALL the rest of their age based leagues in Howard County. HOCO give yourself a pat on back for spreading this garbage in YOUTH lacrosse. You deserve it !!

I wonder if any of the people running HOCO having a holdback kid in MIAA school had anything to do with it?? HOCO , public organization with MIAA schools holdback kids interest, not its own public students and athletics in county .


Hoco has a U15, U13, U11 league and it is mostly rec teams, just like a lot of big tourneys have age and grade divisions. Pick the one you like.


Missed point. No Club teams had YOUTH based teams until Howard County Recreation Department started this league. NO ONE HAD YOUTH TEAMS get it.... Only HS teams.

With this league started the some Clubs especially Crabs licked their chops and recruited holdbacks. Most others followed reluctantly after seeing Crabs dominate with older heldback players. Even the Crabs up until that point were age based at YOUTH U13 and U15 and had great teams.

Without this league even if Crabs wanted its youth holdbacks on their youth teams....who would they played ?? Themselves because most teams did not go holdbacks even at beginning.

Howard County Recreation...Thanks for ruining YOUTH lacrosse in Maryland.
