There is not one kid on the Breakers 2020AA team that is a holdback. They have 4 or 5 that were born in July and August but they are all legitimate 2020s who have not been left back or held back and managed to tie Crabs losing in OT during the playoff. They would have lost to Crush but Crush should have been the winner anyhow. Before you paint broadly check your facts and if you still doubt it, contact their coach for their report cards for 2014/2015 school year and preceding years.
Am I the only one that thinks it's a little bizarre that the coach would have the kid's report cards in middle school.
No I do not find it bizarre, I know of a few coaches in various sports, including a private strength trainer, that asks to see MS kids report cards to make sure they are staying on top of their grades. I find it very respectable and wish more would do so. [/quote
Keeping on top of the subject of grades is one thing, being able to produce a kid's report card is another. I have been coaching for over 30 years and in my opinion, the youth coach should be encouraging kids to perform well in the class room and be good citizen's on and off of the field, but a child's report card is really none of his business unless he has a son on the team and he is looking at his report card. It is the parent's job to make sure a child is getting the grades that he should attaining, it is the coaches job to reinforce that.
