Stop complaining about things you cant control and get your kid better - tutoring, training, whatever they need. Your attitude is terrible - trying to make excuses and blame others to make your small, young son’s path easier. We cant help it your son was born in the Fall of 2011. Reality is they will always be younger than their classmates.

You realize schools have freshman/JV and Varsity teams to account for the age/size difference right?
Hold your kid back again.

Again, not entirely accurate - keep reaching. HS rosters are set by HS staffs and 11th graders do play on JV - nothing to do with age or size, just skill. You're gonna be real fun in the Varsity stands with your little man issues.


You really have no idea what you’re talking about. It’s so obvious and quite frankly, I am embarrassed for you.

Do you realize that when a middle school player is good enough to play up at the jv or varsity level, they have to take a physical strength and maturity test? This test is because they are playing with older kids who are at a very different stage of puberty. This test is not optional, it is mandated, and it is designed to protect kids who are not ready to play up. Well of course you wouldn’t know that. Blatantly obvious.

Well I hope you’re following me and can keep up. Read slow and try. So, if the test to play up exists, why are kids allowed to play down. The reality is, a player who plays down and was reclassed or held back, is going to be of high school age and playing against middle school age kids at some point on their travel team. So in your naive mind that is ok. Quick question for ya. Do they let 9th and 10th grade players play down on the middle school team? I know you’re smart enough to know that answer, right?

Please do yourself a favor and just let it go.
