That’s insanity unless there are serious development issues. Btw- you will be 20 when you graduate hs…what a joke. At least they can drive themselves to games in 8th grade.

Never going to happen. Sport is run by clubs and colleges. They only want older kids. As you get older, more and more holdbacks are becoming the norm. Ruins the sport and everyone is doing it.
