So you’re kicking off seniors with October birthdays even if they’re sent on time? They’re adults after all.

I love that now the people pathetically arguing about redshirting have also decided they are experts on high school football. As if they would ever let their kids play football or have ever seen a game themselves.

you’re so weird
we have season tickets to college football

Yet you think "adults" can't play in HS. Weirdo.

You think you need to be an expert in high school football to know 18 is an adult in the United States?

OMG. Are you really this stupid? Adults are in high school by design.

I think 20 is different than 18 especially for sports and coaches would agree

If you knew anything about football you would know there are already rules around this.

10 year olds entering 3rd? Come on now.

In general, I agree with cutoffs being cutoffs, not polite suggestions. And I think redshirting to an extreme is lazy parenting.

Fortunately, I live in an area where this is not an issue but I agree that schools where this is happening should address it. If we aren’t putting kids in grades based on age, what’s the new plan?

OP is in a private school. The kids who are “ten” are there because that is where the people she pays tuition to want them to be.

And “we” are putting kids in grades based on ages. Most area school systems have some scope for parental discretion, which seems to be what’s setting off the anti-redshirt crowd.

My kid is at a big football HS and there is at least one kid who will graduate at 20. My kid will be 17.

Do you get the trophy or does your kid for graduating at 17?

yah 20.. no need for that. a redshirted kid should be 18 and turn 19 in the senior year.

No, either they were held back two years or a summer or fall kid held back once or twice due to cut off.

Sounds like it was for football. It’s kind of shameless. they couldn’t be the star or get recruited being within the normal age range so they manipulated the system to play

News flash: kids who play football may fail grades just like any other student. And most club sports these days go by birth year and that’s where recruitment happens not the high schools. You don’t sound like you know much about collegiate recruitment for sports.

You’re an idiot. Football is not a club sport.

Are you not able to read? I didn’t say it was. Nice deflection.

Most locations ban high school players from football at age 19.

Not exactly. It's like 19 or younger before the cutoff date. 19 yr olds can play.

And it’s governed by the state and there are lots of workarounds and appeals

Do you know of any district that allows a 20 year old?

I think the sports advantage issue tracks very specifically to boys, and studies suggest boys benefit more than girls from redshirting. So while I think this probably happens, I am not losing sleep over it because the odds are that was the better decision for the child anyway, even if his parents made it for the “wrong” reason.

I just generally don’t care to control the decisions parents make for their kids, within the rules.
