Stop making excuses and figure out a way to beat them. True has a long pole who looks like a sophomore in high school. Does your son want to get better? Have him dodge against him for 40 minutes. Madlax has a massive midfielder. Tell your son to get low and push him down the alley. Kids who are faster, bigger, stronger, and just plain better than your son aren't automatically holdbacks because you can't imagine any other reason why that's the case. If you fold or make excuses the moment things become challenging why are you trying to run with these dogs? Just pack it in and go dominate rec.

Got it hold back Dad. You want your son to play down in 6th grade while the rest of us play on age and stay quiet. Hilarious , the logic of the holdbacks/reclass/prefirst dads

You assume any kid better than your son must be a holdback. Maybe they’re just better athletes. You seem like the kind of person who complains about his letters when he loses in Scrabble. Stop whining and be a better.

If they were just better athletes why would they need to be held back?
