[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is mid June good for anything? I feel like it’s late for school aged and bottom middle for anything else that starts in January.[/quote]
Terrible for swimming, decent for baseball, middle for soccer. If you redshirt, good for lacrosse. [/quote]

Our youth baseball league is Sep 1-Aug 31. Is yours different?

Our lacrosse is by grade level all the way through. [/quote]

Your baseball league sounds like rec? I know that’s little league age grouping.

Here, travel baseball is May 1-April 30 so a kid with a June birthday would have the second oldest birthday month in travel baseball.

Naturally my kid has an April 30th birthday. [/quote]

Most of the top travel baseball teams (youth) seem to be full of kids who have late spring or summer birthdays right after the May 1 cutoff. A lot of them seem to be redshirted too, and will keep the same relative age advantage for HS ball. [/quote]

Yeah for most sports, at some point it is about age relative to graduation year. A May birthday baseball player is not well served by dominating 13u baseball in 8th grade and then trying to make a high school stream with 19 year olds pitching the next year. So if you’re looking for an age advantage long term, I’d vote for a redshirted summer birthday.[/quote]
