Hold backs are any boys born before 8/31 2005 ... goes from 8/20005-8/2006
What are you talking about?????? Hold backs are referring to school... Holding a child back a grade.... In NY the date is either 12/1 or 12/15 depending on the district. If you are born any time before that you are considered a holdback. No one other than you are making your child off grade..
Other parts of the country have different dates..
You have to talk sports . There are mixed years in most sports Hold backs are not an excuse . I know more kids that play up and are more atheletic than these so called hold backs . It all evens out by 7th , 8th grade.. Can't teach , speed and athleticism. If your kid is an Athlete he will always be one. You will see. So with the hold back theory . Someone who is born 11/30 and his parents held him back in kindergarten or what ever grade . Is much better then a kid who is born 12/2 . Or 1/2 . So the days or month makes that child a much better lacrosse player? Or athele? Days and months do not matter much, 1 year or more does ... only in the younger years. Just an opinion .
