You could have fooled me that nobody cares about holdbacks in HS. Go look at the threads.....same types of complaints. It's got just as much to do with private vs. public schools. If you can afford it, and lacrosse is all you care about, you holdback. However, the vast majority of kids I know who were "reclassed" did so very early.....K and 1st grade. They weren't even playing lacrosse at that point. It was because the child needed more time to develop.
Maybe it's not fair, but that's how it is. Holding a kid back solely for a sport seems nuts to me, but I can't begrudge someone who wants to help their kid perform better in school.
Okay.....onto more interesting chatter: schedules, coaches going nuts, kids moving clubs....etc. etc |
