Not a turtle parent but I am aware that a few of the boys are older. HOWEVER, they are ALL in the same grade regardless. Now, if anyone thinks that ALL teams don't have at least a few boys that are older, your are delusional. Every grade has kids that are a year older than others. My son happens to be younger for his grade. It definitely hurts his athleticism for his age. Obviously, I didn't think ahead when he was going to kindergarten! |
