[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid has a summer birthday. He is always the youngest on his soccer and baseball teams and one of the youngest in his grade. Can he have this ONE thing where the cutoff is June 1 instead of September? [/quote]
+100000.  Mine has to deal with tons of disadvantageous cut offs in sports and other areas all. the. time.  For instance her whole girl scout troop signed up for a sleep away summer camp and went without her because she was the only one too young to go.

She's also super into basketball, but the AAU cutoff is literally the day after her birthday making her the absolute youngest (and also the smallest).  So instead she sticks with rec basketball and soccer where she's always the youngest on her team.

Truthfully she's not super thrilled to be swimming a grade down from her friends (but with her age) in summer swim but I think she'll appreciate it in the longer run as she becomes more competitive.  (She didn't swim this year, but wants to try next summer.)[/quote]
