[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw this today. My May son who is 6 was playing a rec baseball game. There is a child in his grade also born in May but the year before. The child was not redshirted for any developmental reasons- the parents just wanted him to be the oldest. So everyone is singing his praises at the first rec baseball game tonight- wow look at him! Hes the best on the team! I wonder how many of them realize he was supposed to be in 2nd grade, not first. He also was complaining that he wanted to do kid pitch and not coach pitch. My 6 yr old NEEDS coach pitch to learn how to bat. This child doesnt need it anymore because he is approaching 8. Maybe if he was in the grade he was supposed to be in, then hed be doing the kid pitch he is ready to be doing and not taking a spot from kids who are in the right grade. Ive seen this time and time again since I have multiple boys and its extremely annoying because its clear these kids were held back to be on top and to be better than everyone else at everything![/quote]

Who cares? When the kids start playing real baseball, Little League or Pony it's by age. A birth certificate is required. Calm down, it's rec baseball which means nothing.[/quote]

No, not where I live. Only travel soccer is by birth year. Little league and all other sports are by grade, including high school sports.[/quote]

Then you must play low level non competitive baseball. I have to produce birth certificates so kids can play in tournaments.
