[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't the whole point of redshirting to make them the best on the team? So what if they are bored, they will play better than their younger classmates.[/quote]

I doubt many parents who redshirt do it to make them best of team. Most often it’s because they are worried their child is not emotionally mature relative to other kids starting kindergarten. [/quote]

The kind of redshirting that you describe occurs prior to kindergarten. Athletic redshirting occurs closer to high school [/quote]

I agree with this statement (or both) but the OP said something about younger grades which to me says Kindergarten redshirting.[/quote]

Right.

OP is talking about first and second graders.[/quote]
Idk, because I see alot of coaches who want their kid to be an athlete doing it early so they don’t need to worry about doing it later.[/quote]
I will even throw an example out there.  The guy who runs Slam City.  His kids are double reclasses/redshirts and they ar now in 4th grade.[/quote]

AAU limits how old you can be and still play in a given grade category. [/quote]
That’s right! And you there are Double reclasses with September and August birthdays.[/quote]
