I actually have not heard of any holdbacks on LI. I'm not saying that there are not any, I've just never heard of it. On one of my kids' teams, there's one kid born in Sept and one in Late August, and those are the oldest on the teams. The age cutoff for grades (December 1) I think is different from other areas as well.

And to be clear, the 2 "older" kids are in the same grade as everyone else.

That’s what happens when they get held back…

Ah. Sorry I was under the impression that holdback meant a full year older (rather than just a few months) or that kids were in different grades. Is that not right?
