Agree. Honestly not a holdback parent either, but I just don't see the issue. When a kid hits the 9th grade they will be playing against other athletes that are significantly older. I know the 12, 13 and 14 year old years are tough with growth spurts, and holdbacks but you just have to weather it, or take up golf.
Crying foul and worrying about what others are doing is a waste of time.
Yea, you are not a holdback parent, just a prefirst parent . LOL. Why d you holdback..I mean prefirst parents and rest of apologists say ,,weather the storm, be tough,,,yet the holdbacks/prefirst play down and take the wimp easy way.
