For 2023
Born Before 9/1/04 = holdback
Born before 9/1/03 = Double holdback
It’s pretty straightforward.
this is not correct at all. my son goes to public school and has many friends in his grade born from june to august who i know are not holdbacks. now, i have no idea if the parents did something pre 2nd grade (the year we moved to the town) but I am pretty sure that they were not thinking about holding back little johnny for a lax advantage in high school.
Yeah, those many friends are holdbacks. They may have been held back when they were young and for non-lax reasons, but they are potentially 12+ months older than kids they’re playing against based on grad year.
I’m not passing moral judgment on it - my son has an early fall bday so by random chance I never had to deal with this - but kids who were born in June but are in school with mostly kids born after 9/1 the same year or after are the definition of holdbacks.
