Lets do this comparison. You have states like MD where the kindergarten cutoff date is Sept. So now a Sept 2000 kid in NY would be a 2018 grad. In Maryland he or she is now going to start school next Sept so will be a 2019. Parents hold back and now is a 2020 graduate. Now this MD kid decides to go to a private after doing a 9th grade year in public school and will repeat that 9th grade year at private so is now a 2021 graduate of high school. Happens all the time. What I don;t get is that if a kid is a holdback AND reclassifies, before 10th grade, don't recruiters see through this and basically realize they are watching a 'high school' kid dominate middle schoolers?? That's not going to change in college - will always be playing against younger kids. It's not like he has to jump to his junior year when he enters college at 20 yrs old.

so to be clear. if you repeat a year when you enter say, Chaminade, its reclassification not hold back? Not sure why you're so hung up on the terminology, but yes - I believe so. And if you graduate from HS, then go to a private school for another year before college, that's a PG (post-graduate) year. All have the same result - kids who are older than they should be for their grade (based on birthdate).

Emotional stability? What does the boy say to his friends. How does a boy who already matured in certain areas of his life fit in with his peers. What about life after lacrosse

Not defensive, kid doesn't go there, I am a little sick of seeing the same Chaminade bashers on here over and over....or is it the same person just spouting more nonsense. WHO CARES what Chaminade does if your son doesn't go there? I don't care what they do, just like I don't care what any school my children don't attend does. Nor should you.

Emotional stability? What does the boy say to his friends. How does a boy who already matured in certain areas of his life fit in with his peers. What about life after lacrosse It's interesting but most boys don't know even know that a kid is a holdback. Many of the players who are holdbacks get accolades due to being great athletes and as a result this surpasses much of the stigma of being a holdback. There are a few kids that were the early commits to schools that are holdbacks on the Chaminade team. They are great players but not as great as they once we're because others have gone through puberty and caught up or passed them in size and skill. Yet they received the early commitment.

so to be clear. if you repeat a year when you enter say, Chaminade, its reclassification not hold back? Since when does the school allow this sort of thing to happen? I can see kids who were maybe held back a year upon entry to pre-K or kindergarten (this sort of thing sometimes happens with public school kids as well), but Chaminade isn't taking 9th graders and allowing them to start over, nor are they accepting students who somehow did 8th grade twice.

They take a kid who takes entrance exam and then will go to a private school for one year for 9th then do 9th again at Chaminade.

is there a difference between a reclassified and a hold back? Chaminade has at least one hold back should have been class of 2016 Usually reclassified is when they change grades after starting school (the "re-" part) and hold backs are when they don't start kindergarten according to their age (hold back from starting school). How do you characterize a kid who was left back in grade school for academic or social maturation issues years before they or their parents ever considered youth lacrosse. Should such kids be stigmatized if they excel in 7th, 8th grades because they are older? I think not. I don't believe parents on LI have been holding their kids back in kindergarten in the hopes that the kid plays lacrosse later on in the and that they get a leg up on the competition. Also, kids go through puberty at different ages - should an early bloomer be looked at negatively because they are bigger and stronger? Get real.

Lets do this comparison. You have states like MD where the kindergarten cutoff date is Sept. So now a Sept 2000 kid in NY would be a 2018 grad. In Maryland he or she is now going to start school next Sept so will be a 2019. Parents hold back and now is a 2020 graduate. Now this MD kid decides to go to a private after doing a 9th grade year in public school and will repeat that 9th grade year at private so is now a 2021 graduate of high school. Happens all the time. What I don;t get is that if a kid is a holdback AND reclassifies, before 10th grade, don't recruiters see through this and basically realize they are watching a 'high school' kid dominate middle schoolers?? That's not going to change in college - will always be playing against younger kids. It's not like he has to jump to his junior year when he enters college at 20 yrs old. Most don't continue to standout. When you've been playing down for the last five years it's tough to face men who are just as big and strong. Only now they're more talented. It's called facing the music. My 16 yo played in committed games this summer, he was playing against many 19 and 20 year old 2016's. Not all that great skill wise. Some gave him cheap shots when they got burned, kind of laughable actually. I predict many of these kids moving forward will wash out, get cut, or never play.

Ehh there are parents that start trying to have their families in Feb, March so they are born in Nov, Dec. So they can be in the next year's class of kindergarten. As for kids being left back. When was the last time you heard of a kid on Long Island being left back. Lol. Parents plan these things. You would be very surprised what parents do to have their child have an advantage.

[quote=Anonymous]but Chaminade isn't taking 9th graders and allowing them to start over, nor are they accepting students who somehow did 8th grade twice. You are wrong! Yes, they absolutely have taken these student/athletes. So have the other privates/catholics. It is a shamefully encouraged by the parents and club coaches. The trick is to repeat an 8th grade year at a private then enter as a freshman in a catholic. As to an earlier post--- Yes, the kids in these schools know who the holdbacks are. Especially the kids one year ahead of them. Many played with or against the holdbacks when they were playing CYO hoops/ baseball, Pop warner football, or PAL Lax on appropriate grade levels. Cheating is cheating. I wish the schools had standards and the parents had ethics.

Not what was written by the first poster, he/she stated that the kids "checked out" once they committed. Where did this information come from? Parent? Coach? Student-athlete? Or is this an opinion, which should then be stated as such, not as if this is something known. Nonsense statement, they didn't check out, they were a BAD football team, it happens.

There are no athletic scholarships in college Div III sports, yet they happen under the auspices of academic scholarships for the undeserving. Considering that that is governed by the NCAA, with severe sanctions for violation, why would you think that it can't happen in a self-regulated scenario? I take it that the student athlete would still have to pass the entrance exam.
