[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP’s kid plays travel baseball and hangs out with these boys and OP is surprised that they are large? What about at school pick up or coming off the bus or school events or anywhere else you see a larger variety of kids? Are all of those boys huge too, or just the boys in your particular club baseball group?[/quote]

In his elementary school he’s smaller but he’s one of the only kids with a summer birthday on time. This was that school year greatly impacted by covid and we are in a private school that almost everyone but us held back from February and March that year so he’s up to 15 months younger than many of the boys. Baseball is by age so we thought it might be better. [/quote]

Almost 10 yr olds weren’t greatly impacted by covid.[/quote]

If he’s in 4th now (which would make sense), the red shirted kids are the ones who would have had fully virtual kindergarten if they had gone on time, which is why there are so many redshirted kids (esp boys) in that grade. So yeah, I would say those kids were greatly impacted [/quote]

Nope. Baseball is by age not grade, redshirting is irrelevant. These kids were in preschool when covid hit. My 4th grader is fine. My 6th grader missed a lot of kindergarten and her first grade year was a nightmare. Her cohort is not fine.[/quote]
