Hold backs. I call it even


The way you folks define "holdbacks" is comical. How many kids are born in 2001 vs. 2002, if you were born in 2001 you're a holdback.


Not true at all! The MAJORITY of school districts throughout the country use the September 1 cutoff. How can a kid born in September be a holdback when his states school system says you need to be born between 9/1/01 - 8/31/02 to be considered 2020. The vast majority use those dates!

Please educate yourself on how the rest of the US runs its schools, new your isn't the center of the universe!


It has nothing to do with school calendars, play with kids born in the same calendar year and stop crafting a narrative that works for you.


If the movement is towards graduation year teams, how does it not have anything to do with school calendars? Maybe the NY lax community should get in line with the majority of other states with regards to school dates and such.


As a previous poster mentioned, the majority of the country uses right around 9/1 as the grade cutoff date. Saying it has nothing to do with the school year is an asinine statement. NY happens to be in the minority - as in pretty much the ONLY district that uses a calendar year cutoff. You cannot argue with facts.
