Oh well that's life. Same way in the real world always have to do what's best for you and your family.
Big difference between making a living and protecting your family and you playing your child down on a sports team at the detriment of other children just so your child who can not cut it with kids his own age looks good. Pathetic and not even worth discussing with folks who can not see the distinction.
Funny thing is... holdbacks are so commonplace now for the top level teams that it has become "normalized". These guys all play each other. So the best kids really are the best kids... 'cause the holdbacks compete against the holdbacks. Crazy and not changing... suck it up or go play baseball.
Not true - the majority of 2020 teams are truly 2020 teams. It is limited to a subset of the private school holdbacks- private schools are the only institutions that allow this practice to happen without any educational purpose. The MAJORITY of families still do the right thing - please stop trying to justify holdbacks by saying everyone does it. Oldest excuse in the book and in this case, simply not true.
