[quote=Anonymous]I have a smart athletic kid. All the competitive sports leagues are by age so redshirting doesn’t give an old kid any advantage. They’ll just be playing with kids who are a grade ahead instead of their classmates. The one exception would be things like high school football—and there’s no way in hell I would allow my kid to play given the risk of brain injury—so I really don’t care if someone wants their freshman to be huge so they can make team. As far as academics goes, the smart tend to take more challenging classes and be the younger in their math or science classes. After elementary school placement is by ability instead of chronological age. [/quote]
