So go ahead start the banter about if your kid is good enough he would make the team. Well...He did make the team! but I still find it ridiculous that we as parents and more important, the club owners find this ok.


Wait a second. You are stating that 80% of all the 2024 kids are hold backs? Thats nuts. My kid is on a town and travel team and none of the kids on his teams should be in 6th grade. His travel team does have 2 december birthdays, so I can give you those kids as "holdbacks" but that's it. 2 of 45 is not 80%
