For all you complaining about holdbacks, I have two words for you... Tyler Buchner.

Shot 100mph as an on-age 7th grader at WYSL in 2016. I know... I was therewith my (also) on-age 7th grader who didn't even weight 100lbs yet. The kid towered above just about everyone there.

Middle school is tough. There will always be kids who hit puberty well before (and well after) their peers. That's life, get over it. In 1-2 years it doesn't matter anyway. Your kid should control what HE can control.

Parent of a late-blooming on-age public school kid that's now junior in college playing on a good D3 team. He played against those holdbacks, even as a pre-pubescent all those years in middle school, and got better for it. I'm thankful he had that experience.
