^^^Make yourself look better?? 12 year old? Really? Parent that made a decision 7,8 years ago about education? They have no sportsmanship or Character?
says a lot about your character to write something about ALOT OF GOOD PEOPLE AND KIDS.. My son has been playing up( 1-2 full age years) his whole life until recently playing club where he happens to fall in the older side of his teammates which happens to be some of his class mates since 1st grade. 3 months older not 1-2 years. 'Holdbacks or pre 1st which my son is is a big spectrum . calling out my families character is showing a great lack in sportsmanship..\
Good luck to you and yours when high school comes around. What excuse will you have then.
if your son went to pre-first and stayed back a year and is playing with his current graduating then you are cheating and teaching your child it is ok to cheat. you can have him play up, or on age, not against younger kids. your character is the one to be questioned.
How is he cheating? He is playing on a grade based team in a grade based league. Sounds like he is following the rules. So the team and league says he plays with his graduating year but you want him to play with the next year? That doesn't make sense. He's following the rules of the league. If you don't like the rules, play in a different league or petition the league. Don't call people who are following the rules cheaters or question their character. Your problem is with the league, so go to a different league. Accusing people falsely calls your character into question.
You sound like a Drama queen. You son has not been playing up his whole life ! He has been playing in his proper age bracket. Even if he was born in August(last month) and playing in MYLA with two year brackets. The absolute most he would be one year is 1 year 11 months to the absolute oldest kid the first year in age bracket. The following year he would be 11 moths at the most younger to the absolute oldest kid.
And if it was a proper age base league of single years instead of single grades your son would be 11 months max younger than oldest kid. But everyone would be within a year. If a player isnt held back/prefirst and born in August/summer like your son..you now want some players not held back to have a bigger age deference than your son used too or would have with a age based league...Seems fair to you???? Do you understand that..You used to be complaining about what is even worst for some kids not heldback now!!!
Why does your son get to play down?? If he is allowed to play down than all kids born in same month as your son should be allowed to play down irregardless of grade. That is called fair sportsmanship. Do you think your son deserves some special deal that other children shouldn't get due to your decision to do prefirst ??. That is a grade not even offered in the Public schools. [/quote]
You still don't get it. His kid is within the rules. So yes I think it is fair. Your issue is with the rules. Stop calling people cheaters who are not cheating. Do something to change the rules or switch leagues. [/quote]
Where once in the response above did I mention cheaters?? I was responding to the drama queen saying his kid always played up. Which was BS. His kid was just playing within his age bracket. And the same thing he was complaining about..He wants other peoples children to have now plus wants a bigger age difference due to an arbitrary prefirst grade or holding your child back?? And of course only a select group of kids get to enjoy this benefit, like his and probably yours.
Of course you are within the rules. The rules were written to give a select group of children ( mainly private school prefirst kids) an advantage the majority of children in Maryland do not get.
