We all know why kids do prefirst?? Not mature enough for 1st grade, Behind rest of kindergarten students in skills, parent thinks they need more time in Kindergarten, and Yes sometimes to give their child an advantage in education and sports.MIAA is very competitive and parents know that the dont want their child constantly competing against older kids academically and physically. Some MIAA schools encourage (very strongly) that summer kids stay back.

But what has that got to do with YOUTH sports?? Does the MIAA now set policy for lacrosse youth sports??

The ignorant one is you who cant figure out this is Two different issues that you holdback cry baby parents make as One! Just because you hold your child back a grade or two, that doesn't give your child some special rights over other children born on exact same date and year as them, as it pertains to youth sports.
