[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any videos of these games online? How good were they? I'm honestly just curious as this point.

Coach sounds unhinged.  [/quote]

Here's the first quarter of a game against Vienna. Vienna was one of the better teams. Its customary in this league for a coach to call off the press once a team is up 20+. I didn't watch all the videos but Mclean was still pressing when the game was 53-20 and the clock was running.

Looks like the score is 25-4 at the end of Q1 and 40-13 at the half.

Kid jumping center was a reclass who was able to dominate the game.[/quote]

That's the kid who the coach complained should have won league MVP.

Is it "reclassing" if a kid is just red-shirted? Like a summer birthday who starts K late? That is pretty common for boys.

Idk if he should have been MVP, but he’s older than most of the kids in his grade.  His parents may not have purposely done it to gain an athletic advantage though.  He’s from a foreign country so there may have some issues when he transferred his education to this country that caused him to be older.[/quote]

Its common to have kids who are "redshirted older" in any grade-based sport. For instance, kid with a June 2009 birthday who was red shirted and started K a year late playing in an 8th grade league this year who has always been in the cohort of kids now in 8th grade is in the normal range of things. 
A kid who was in 8th grade, then homeschooled 8th grade for a year, then is in 8th grade again for the third time is NOT normal. The league should not permit that. It's absurd. People can parent however they like, but for a grade based league, you should only get one year playing in each grade.[/quote]
