[quote=Anonymous]No one is saying to base it off of "school grade" ... but a cut-off date that is approximately what you find in most schools across the country (e.g. September 1) would make it so that kids are generally playing with other teammates in the same grade as them, thus more likely to be playing with (and against) friends from school. "Red-shirting" your kindergarten student wouldn't change the sports breakout at all -- if you chose to hold your kid back to give them an academic edge in kindergarten (which is a whole other discussion) it wouldn't hold them back for soccer. There would still be a calendar-based split, but it would pivot around September 1 (or whatever it used to be) so that for the most part, kids who started kindergarten at the normal age would expect to play on teams with kids in their grade.[/quote]
