my point is..the 6th graders who are u13 eligable(u13 means under 13 years old "george")and play u13 currently are being excluded from tryouts so the h.s. coach can fill his team with 8th grade not u13 eligable boys.was wondering how many h.s. programs do this to compete with the travel teams?that being the excuse the h.s. coach gave the 6th grade as to why they are being excluded.thank you for your witty and off topic reply hopfully we can either answer in a constructive manner or ignore this. sincerly phil
Phil,
Something sounds amiss here. Maybe you misunderstood? Some late birthday 8th graders & perhaps the 7th graders could fill a U13 team. Maybe he feels he would like to field the team with the older kids first? If your HS coach actually told you that he is filling a U13 team with kids that are older to "Compete with the travel teams", I would have a real issue with having my son play for him. Something sounds "Fishy".
