[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Birthdays really don't play a role at all when this is done right. The kids who should be bio-banding are exceptionally skilled but in the 1-5 percentile of growth charts relative to their age - be that a January or December birthday. Their puberty is also delayed typically. If a kid has gone through puberty and gained significant muscle mass but is still short/small - that would be a factor - as they are peaked out in terms of physical development and no need to make exceptions. Unfortunately, clubs are abusing this waiver system, which is a shame. [/quote] That's not logically sound. A kid needs to be small for the age band, which covers January-December, not small for their age. A January birthday kid who is 10th percentile relative to their age will be larger (and less disadvantaged) than a December birthday who is 10th percentile relative to their age.[/quote]
