[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We knew a boy that was the opposite. Parents redshirted him and he was almost two years older than my son. He was a star player thru middle school. Top recruit for High School.  Got to HS and was nothing special.  But he had so much confidence from being the star player for 8 years.[/quote]

Irrelevant. Redshirting doesn’t affect club sports, which she’s clearly talking about. [/quote]

How wouldnt it affect club sports?

My kid plays club lacrosse, and her team is based on graduation year. She was born in 2008 and plays on a 2026 team. There are other girls who were born from late summer of 2006 through fall of 2008 all playing on 2026 team. [/quote]

It’s irrelevant because redshirting isn’t relevant when it’s based on birthdays, like most club sports. A kid could be the oldest in 6th grade due to redshirting but will likely still compete against kids in his age bracket. [/quote]

DP, but it is relevant because at least some club sports use graduation year. The op mentions club lacrosse. Baseball teams can also use either age or grad year. Not unusual to see 15yo and 13yo on the same 14u team, all with the same graduation year. My kids have played on basketball teams that go by grad year as well. [/quote]
