My son is the youngest kid on a team with Holdbacks. He plays, a lot. The team is ranked in the top 10. I told him, go beat everyone and anyone on the field if you want to play. Work harder then the older kids and the younger ones your age won't be a problem. He worked harder then the older ones and earned his time. Now I feel blessed he gets to absorb the skills playing along side older kids. Has anyone complaining thought to use it as a motivator. But the horse has been beaten, dug up, re beat and reburied on this subject. I get venting, but this thread reads like a knitting circle wrote it
