[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she’s red shirted she’s not really playing up, she’s playing with kids who are closer to her age instead of being age dominant in the grade below. I would try to keep her there so she’s with physically similar peers and receiving an appropriate challenge. [/quote] Yeah, she isn't really playing up if she is in the age range for the grade she was supposed to be in. Presumably you kept her back from school because you thought she wasn't academically ready, but that doesn't mean she isn't physically ready to play sports with kids in her age. My daughter, who played a different sport (my son is the lacrosse player), has an early September birthday, and there was one kid who was a late October kid but red shirted so a grade behind her on her travel team. Her parents kept making a big deal about how their kid was playing up with older kids. But my daughter and a few others on the team were younger than their daughter. [/quote]
