A august 2010 would be considered a holdback, even if they were august 29th. Which is the root of the whole issue. If they never allow kids who were held back at preschool to play with their classmates then they will not have a team or be asked to join an established team in 8th grade. Or whenever.

A September 2009 is an on age 27

Nope... So follow me here. Seems you got lost trying to see through you losing grip on your sons future as a holdback...

2028 on grade would be September 2009-August 31 2010... remember Sept 1, 2010 is a 2029.

A September 2009 should be a 2028 or 7th grader. Held back makes them a 2029... so YES a September, October, November, December 2009 is a SINGLE YEAR holdback grade wise and playing against summer 2011 birthdays makes them almost two years older. Double hold back, again Sept. Oct, Nov. Dec 2008 could make them 3 years older.

If you really think August birthdays are the root cause of the issue you have either are clueless or have an August birthday kid who will become the youngest under the new system which makes it unfair to your kid. Forget about the other kids playing on age.
