The truly elite players who are on age don’t care about playing with or against holdbacks. Just saying.
Yes they do. Everyone does. You're lying to yourself.
No they don’t.
It’s the parents of benchwarmers in elite and Lower division players who feel holdbacks are keeping their kids out of elite who cry incessantly on this board.
The on age actual elite kids do not care about holdbacks.
Lies.
No they don’t. By in large, the kids out there on the field are aware of the other boys age but once the ball is in play it’s find and man and play.
But if you want to keep telling your son that’s why he’s not at that level (holdbacks) then have at it.
