[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are at a B-CC feeder and the summer boys tend to redshirt. It’s pretty common. [/quote]

So are these redshirted boys not able to play sports their senior year in high school?[/quote]

Depends on if they turn 19 in the summer.  They probably won't.  In my old district kids were starting kindergarten at like age 6 so the 1 year redshirt was making them 19 year old seniors.  I forgot that they would be starting at like 5 years old here and it wouldn't make a huge difference.

Now if a kid redshirts and then repeats the 3rd grade with the new policy on 3rd grade retention for not being able to read, it's a whole different story.[/quote]

I'm not sure I understand the argument- my baby was born first week of September. All the babies in her pace group were born within 2 weeks of her,  some pre cut off and some after cut off.  You think the ones with Aug 30th should be blocked from sports but not Sept 5th or they all should be blocked? My kid will turn 6 2 weeks into k[/quote]

I don’t.  The county does.  County policy is no student who turns 19 before august 30th is ineligible but a September 1st birthday is good to go [/quote]
