Fact is, this Summer U15 in COLORADO is the closest to gather who is held back and who isn't. If you GO to play at the U15 than you ARE ON AGE (you DO need proof of age). If you don't go AND your teammates goes (or players from your team align with someone else) than its a obvious your older. Agreed, U15 will explain a lot.

What about the Publics like GC, WM, Pequa, Farm, the Smithtowns, WI, and Manhassett? Probably less?

As a graduate of the school I am disappointed. I like to see the teams do well as much as anyone else....but this is cheating and it is contrary to what the school is about. My $.02

Anonymous Unregistered A	The LI Catholics won't reclass, but the independent privates will for $30k. So, go wherever to 8th grade, repeat 8th grade at Green Vale, Buckley, Friends, Portledge, etc., then enter 9th grade a year older at the school of your choice. Don't tsk tsk the high school. They have no reason to deny admission because of a 1 year difference.

This "process" was initiated in other sports but the greater well off lax parent community saw that their little boys couldn't match up with the best of the tristate area. Thus the dive into the holdback system with great hopes in mind. I feel somewhat sorry for you all where you're spending or have spent so much private school dollars and have yet to realize that return you had so feverishly prayed for. What should I do with all of the possible PG and private school money that I saved when my just turned 15 yo freshman in public school was committed ast fall to a top 8 seeded team in the current ncaa D1 tourney? Did he achieve that with mommy and daddy getting on their knees and servicing the private school coach of their choice and filling the schools coffers with yet more coin? No. He did it the old fashioned way. Hard work. Dedication. Discipline. Self confidence. And with those; he gained self respect and that of his peers. If your 2017 or older kid doesn't have these concepts drilled into the fabric of his life by now; he never will. And that makes you a failure as a parent. no amount of PG holdback cheating money can ever be worth more than those values. Invest wisely, my friends. Paving the road for your kid to have an easy path does not always yield the returns that the above principles will. Now....back to your spelling bee cheer. Repeat it aloud as you look in the mirror tomorrow morning. check the rosters of the quarterfinal teams. start with duke. Their starting mid/att are all hold backs or pg. ND leading scorer is a PG. Hopkins, well i don't even need to look. Imagine the money your true 2017 could have gotten if you reclassed him? Money wasn't, isn't and won't be a problem! :-) Sorry. "A top 8 seeded team"???? Those 8 go from duke, to ivy to Albany and Maryland etc. My point is that not all schools are considered the same caliper. If I'm not mistaken most all, if not all, freshman commits are from schools other then Ivy's and duke. Just saying you can brag all you want about your so sons commitment to Albany. Doesn't impress me.

Very impressive list of awesome schools. Congrats to all of those boys.

And calipers are what hold your break pads on your car....clearly you might not even have gotten into a SUNY school with that command of the language Lastly: no one is trying to impress you. The fact is; the kid is impressive. As is his accomplishment.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Plenty of holdbacks in every age group in GC. Usually kids born in the summer/early fall ... but the decision was made at the start of the school process, not in the middle. Parents decide to start those kids in the next kindergarten grade, to give them an athletic and academic advantage (or, from their perspective, to make sure they are not academically or athletically "disadvantaged" by being at the end of the grade age range). Those kids have a real advantage. Unfair, but real.

Must be from manhasset or a GC parent whose kid hasn't, doesn't, and won't ever start as he thinks the others must have some "advantage" over his D-1 hopeful 4th grader.

Man, if that's true then I've been living under a rock. Must be in certain circles only. We raised our kid age appropriate and he's doing really well. Come to think of it; GC prob needs to do this. Ever seen how small the FB team is?

As a graduate of the school I am disappointed. I like to see the teams do well as much as anyone else....but this is cheating and it is contrary to what the school is about. My $.02 I, too, am a Chaminade alum and I am disappointed with my fellow Chaminade's comment. It's not my business nor yours or anyone else's for that matter. Who does what with their children. There is no law being broken so please stop whining like a girl and find something better to do. Are you kidding me? So I guess the real men are the ones who cannot dominate their age group and decide to park themselves for a year at some expensive private school to gain an unfair advantage?.
