[quote=Anonymous]Not sure how this will work for kids with late May birthdays who for developmental reasons -- not trying to game the system in sports -- were put into pre-K/junior K programs ages ago and now have to play up.

The rule is what it is but if a kid is graduating in 2031 and now has to play with the 2030s, what happens in high school?  They play back down with their club team for tournaments and outside of the Spring?  The graduation year is what it is (in this case 2031) and presumably the purpose and effect of this is not to deny these kids a year of tournaments and such with a club team their senior year when the 2030 team is off in college.  It may seem great now in concept, but when these kids have been playing a year up from their graduation year and then show up to play with their club teams in high school (with the benefit of having played up a year), they will be competing for the same slots they once had on their younger teams.

I get the point of the rule, but there is a group of kids here that were never redshirted or held back for athletic reasons that will be impacted.[/quote]
