what is the argument against having u9, u10, u11 and so on based off a firm birthdate? This eliminates holdbacks, and allows kids to compete against their peers.
no good argument for most hotbed areas. Some would say smaller programs or areas would have difficulty filling out single year teams
Grade based started at the the HS level to make it easier for college coaches to know what they were looking at. It has trickled down to the younger levels, probably for the same reasons as kids transition from middle school to HS.
