It is amazing how ill-informed the people are that post in this thread. The FCA players who were "brought down" played up. They are and always have been 2020's.
September 1, 2000 - August 31, 2001 birthday = 2019!
Doesn't matter is you repeated kindergarten, started school late, or repeated 8th grade, your kid is still a holdback. Goalie is a holdback! Don't know about the other 2019's who moved down.
According to who? Where is that a rule? You clearly have a huge issue with it for some reason but a summer birthday or a pre-first year does not make a 2020 a 2019. Tell your son's coach not to take kids born before 9/1 and to not play teams that have players born before 9/1/ Take a stand!
it absolutely does, and kid born prior to September 1, 2001 should be a 2019. The parents chose to keep the child back a year. Staying back for school is one thing, but the kids should play on age level by birth not the grade level their parents want them at. You and other parents should stop playing older kids against younger kids, because a child can't handle their academics and gets left back doesn't mean they should then play against kids of his new grade level.
