Without question? They have 1 repeat (for academic reasons) and 3 late summer birthdays.



late summer should be 2019



Not in Maryland.


Yes, even in Maryland. However most teams have a couple of kids with summer birthdays, no big deal in my book. Why do you think WSOYL has a 5/1 cutoff? If not too many teams would be excluded. The difference is that these kids are in the grade that they're supposed to be in, none of them have repeated a grade (or two) to gain an advantage.


Kids born from Sept 1 to Aug 31 ( including summer kids) should be in the same grade in Maryland. Pretty simple...So if you were born in summer and did a prefirst/heldback anytime or your mother just started you later..you will have a advantage over the rest of the children born in summer who did normal progression of school according to the state of MD. Now there are many good reasons to hold your child back..academia, maturity, sports , etc..But these kids have an advantage of being oldest in grade that others in their age dont enjoy.. These summer kids who playdown are not in the grade they are supposed to be according to the state. Lets not act like they are in proper grade just because they are close to Sept 1. Most kids born in Maryland are in their proper grade even the ones born in summer. Pretty simple
