[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many if not most actually encourage redshirting, especially for boys.[/quote]
Not sure about schools in the WCAC, but talk to admissions at the schools regularly mentioned on this site and mention redshirting.  Bet they quickly discourage you.[/quote]

STA routinely reclasses athletes.  They are not only redshirted, they repeat 8th or 9th grade.   [/quote]
If they reclass in 8th grade, do they take 9th grade classes or repeat the 8th grade? A kid isn’t benefiting from repeating the same class work he’s just completed.[/quote]

Th retake whatever grade they've just completed elsewhere--usually 9th but sometimes 8th.  They take the same classes twice. [/quote]
That doesn’t sound very productive unless the boy is behind and that school is very selective.  I don’t think Saint Albans takes kids who are behind since they are so selective.[/quote]

Boys do what the school asks to get admitted, even if this entails repeating a grade. [/quote]
