So true. It’s not even an argument. Up into 8th grade, should be age based. High school, anything goes. One day, I hope this don’t happen, some big 12 year old kid, will seriously injure a 10 year old kid. Oh wait, they are both in 5th grade. Kids the same age can also get hurt, but at least it’s on a level playing field. The parents want to hold their kids back for a real life issue, no problem. He plays sports, he plays his age. He will make new friends. Sorry mom and dad. What would you do if he played baseball or hockey. I’d be embarrassed playing my kids down in any sport.
