[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Always say their kids are playing “up” in soccer and baseball, when it’s done by age. It drives me bonkers. I have a June 5 birthday child and my neighbor does as well. Same grade, mine is on time birthday and hers is a summer hold back. 
They both fall at the end of the baseball calendar year and her son plays the division above but he’s a full year older. She kept insisting how unfair it was that her son was playing on this team being the youngest and I made the point that my son falls in the exact same spot and she can’t agree with me on this. She says it’s completely different. They are both at the end of the year of a Sep to August birth order. Why can’t parents understand the math on this?!  It’s by age. It’s not unfair. It’s not playing up either. [/quote]

Because the amount of anxiety parents have about youth sports, especially at younger ages, is both palpable and unhealthy and also drives a fair amount of team drama.[/quote]

Yes but come she can’t understand my kid is in the same position? youngest in the group? [/quote]
