How do you define illegal? If you repeat a grade when is the date you can join the kids from the grade you just repeated back to. First day of summer? First day of school? Where are these rules written down to follow for reclass/repeat kids? I agree there are kids who have reclassed or started school late, and as much as this sucks for my kid. Is it really illegal or just crappy?


it's crappy. tournaments hopefully will start adding language in that specifies that grade goes by whichever grade the kid was in the past school year. And they should add a limit for age -- May 1 like they did for the denver thing sounds reasonable. Our friends from NY would have legitimate grip since their school cutoff is december and holdbacks up there are fall bdays not summer. But it would be progress and would limit the age differences. They would probably just need to have u15 guideline for 8th grade
