[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another question slightly related: Our son did Single A last year (league age 7).  Most of his teammates were also league age 7 (1st grade).  The coach decided to keep their son back one more year in Single A as an 8 year old, and convinced most of the team to do so as well.  Isn't that some type of anomaly?  The league guidelines state that Single A is primarily for 6-7 year olds, and that any 8 year olds or  advanced 5 year olds need to contact the player agent.  Many of them are ready for AA; I think they're just trying to build a "super-team" of 8 year olds by red-shirting them.[/quote]

Ugh, some parents are just the worst. Our league had to establish very strict rules about kids playing in their age group. It had been grade based but so many parents were red shirting that we had to go back to strict age. We also ended the practice of playing up with exceptions only granted by a unanimous board vote upon recommendation of the player development coordinator, and then ONLY for majors teams. Maybe if we were a powerhouse program sending kids to LLWS every year it would be different, but that's not any program around here. [/quote]
