So if you held your son back a year ,, would he start?? Of course he would, Holdbacks have an advantage and have more than their share of starting positions. Is there holdbacks not starting?? of course.There is only so many starting positions and too many holdbacks. And non starting holdbacks are still on the team.

Most starters that are on age are some of the oldest on age players. The on age players getting screwed are born between Feb to Aug. Not only do they not start, they dont even make team due to holdbacks,

Just the way Youth sports was to be played, letting select players get an advantage over others, Exactly how I was taught!
