Both because he’s just not talented and because his daddy keeps making excuses for him about it not being fair that he has to play (in most cases) kids 6-10 months older than him.

Lol, you are delusional. 6-10 months may be the case in 5th grade now. Let’s check back with you in a couple years , maybe 7/8th grade and see how you feel about the holdback situation? You may want to jump on the bandwagon earlier rather than later. It’s the way it is now, unfortunately! Until rules change, almost no chance of playing, being recruited by a top 5 D1college without being older. They don’t care about the 1 or 2 extra years. They just want to win!
