Not a Crabs parent and can't say I totally agree with their philosophies but my son was born in Sep 2003 and my brother's son (his cousin) was born in July 2003. I don't consider my nephew a holdback when he's less than 2 months older than my son. Holdback according to what? A made up system where Sep birthdays prosper at the expense of August birthdays?

Making much more of the holdback issue than what it should be (in my opinion)


No one cares why and what reason a kid is held back. We are talking YOUTH sports..You must have some Birthday cut off. Youth sports wasn't made to let select kids ( prefirst/holdback, etc) get an advantage other children dont get...Just make Birthday earlier and let everyone play at that age that wants too...
