Sorta sad, but that is the way it is now. I dont know why we cant hold back two years? or is that stretching it? CH recently tried that and the league ruled the player ineligibility for 2022. They have at least a few kids who were considered HS "juniors" last year, and are still enrolled at CH, but not participating in 2022 due to their...uhm...advanced age. And they still have 120+ kids on their program roster.

Only play 22 kids on game day, but recruit as many kids as possible so they can't play against you in the future.

Go to any youth basketball tournament too on Tourney Machine. There are 16 year old 8th graders dunking on kids. No one will dare to call them "little Johnny" or "dense" to their face or parents face.

I guess that technically doesn’t make them a double holdback. Just almost two years older.

But just trust me I know what I’m talking about and you clearly do not. No harm no foul. The expert speaks out. AAU at the pure grade based level in youth is all but gone and has been a huge mess for years. Same issues as lacrosse. Most are going either strictly age based or grade with age restrictions. And yes, I know .. LOL .. Lacrosse is a niche sport that only keeps the facade of this huge amount of kids playing down by being a niche sport driven by private schools and clubs.

The truth hurts so cry me a river and stop lying to yourself and your son, little man.

So these kids ARE the mythical double holdbacks- 19 or 20 as high school seniors this spring. Pathetic.

Your attempt at big words and insults bely your deep seated insecurities about your decision to hold back your underperforming son. You know deep down that good athletes, those who will play at top D1 schools in college, don't need daddy to socially manipulate their athletics. If your son plays in college, it's probably gonna be D3 or MCLA for him. Which is fine. You've already been making excuses for holding back Sonny in middle school. You'll soon be regaling your friends about what a "hidden gem" Greensboro or Illinois Wesleyan is.
