[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Might get more feedback on the lacrosse forum.

It is a true thing in sports that kids between September and December get shafted when using a December 31 cut-off (which one of the big governing bodies in my kids' sport still does, though they are pretty much all moving to August 31 to align with grades better).[/quote]

Are you talking about soccer? 
It’s surprising people can’t see how the August 31 cut off which is the norm for all grade level sports is tough for any kids who went on time to school that fall late in the school year. My child is grade level June and that’s a horrible month for sports. It’s still in the second half for soccer too so not really an advantage for anything.  If you’re a Sep to Dec birthday you have a great birthday for school sports or grade level sports. [/quote]

Softball. 2 of 4 big governing bodies have already switched, 1 is rumored to be switching next year (and that one is the one that most impacts us), and the last is stubbornly holding out (but it doesn't at all impact us).

It won't help my kid for school because she started on time in that funny FCPS September window. Academically it was the right choice, but athletically it's an extra challenge.[/quote]
