So just make it easy on everyone. Parents, coaches, kids, tourney directors.

Make it Jan 1. Go by actual birth year.

So what happens when a team is playing together for years and they get to the year where the kids born in the fall all go to HS ? Doesn't really seem fair. Maybe that is how soccer does it. My son plays football, they do Sept 1st I believe.

Racist.

Do you mean Ageist? Agree with poster, go by 1/1, the actual birth year like they do in other youth sports. Once HS hits, all heck with holdbacks happens and kids start playing with older/bigger kids anyways. However , they should get some what of a handle on it in the youth ages when kids are still growing and developing. Make it more fair.

No they don't. Age dates are all over the place.

Sept 1 is the usual date as it corresponds with majority of school districts. Yes, I know some districts in NY are Dec 1..but most are before that and around Sept 1.

Real simple as it used to be. 9/1. But lets hear from holdback apologists how unfair that is.

What's your argument against using the actual birth date of the player? Get older and move on to the next age group.
