I agree that this holdback/prefirst/reclassify at youth level is not in the spirit of youth athletics.
Most of these kids at youth level are private school kids in the Baltimore/DC area. All these schools constantly preach character building, etc. Sorta ironic that the biggest abusers are the so called kids that are constantly taught being a good character in the world. Character doesn't go with getting an advantage that only a select few get, especially when others cant.
