[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not everyone has a middle school to play for. In fact I don’t know any middle schools who have teams? And they can’t move up to JV. Again, you don’t know the circumstances for why a kid doesn’t fit into a window, so please don’t speak like you do. No need to reply, there is no perfect situation. [/quote]

First there is no NEED to reply to any post anywhere on DCUM.  But if you do not want a reply then in my humble opinion you should not post.  A reply is kind of the point of a discussion.  I would never pretend to know the situation of an anonymously posted case and never stated that in any previous post.  I do know that some parents do hold kids back to gain an advantage and that is not all kids but that is what created an imbalance in the first place.  There is not going to be a situation that is favorable to all sides. However, if you hold a kids back for whatever reason, even a very valid reason, there will be a consequence.  If that results in a player missing a spring season, I personally am fine with that.  I can not speak for others.  Missing a spring season in what is mostly a year round sport is a minor thing.  However, several middle schools have teams and several HS programs allow an 8th grader to play.  What is to me an issue is when parents think exceptions should be made based on one child's circumstances as a detriment to the rest.  We had a issue over the last 10 years (sport around much longer) where age restrictions were abused to the point that those that really followed the rules where penalized.  This is a great step in the right direction and hopefully discourages any future parents from reclassing for sports.   [/quote]
