Yes many reasons, still a HOLDBACK! And I think it has been well established that those kids have an athletic advantage, no matter what the motive!
If the school district in which you live has a cutoff date of September 1st as opposed to December 1st, your freshman child could already be fifteen years old (plus three months) without having been held back.

Exactly, Cage. Although some kids undoubtedly choose to repeat for athletic reasons, one cannot conclude that teams that hail from a particular state automatically have older kids (and if they do, who cares? Just play the game).
I find it sad that some LI parents resort to perceived slights or unfair advantages as an excuse whenever their son's team loses. Just man up and play.
