I don’t understand the hold back BS on these boards. Your sons will always be playing with and against kids older and younger once they’re in HS or College.The sooner you get use to it the better.
We are talking about at the youth ages and developmental ages up until HS! Should be more fair during those years!
One of the early MIAA holdback adopters was BL. Once King Crab set-up his shop @ BL the culture moved over to his club. He has always been a big proponent of trying to have more older kids on his teams than the competition he plays. He will take the older kids at any age.
This began years before the MIAA was even in existence. The school on Lake Ave used to have the reputation for being a soft landing spot for anyone who had academic or behavior issues or got kicked out of other local privates. In order to ensure the kid was up to speed, (and get their tuition money's worth) BL admissions would ask those kids to repeat a grade. BL flourished and often had good lax teams. The trend continued. holdbacks then became a more popular "thing." At BL and elsewhere.
