[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP’s kid plays travel baseball and hangs out with these boys and OP is surprised that they are large? What about at school pick up or coming off the bus or school events or anywhere else you see a larger variety of kids? Are all of those boys huge too, or just the boys in your particular club baseball group?[/quote]

In his elementary school he’s smaller but he’s one of the only kids with a summer birthday on time. This was that school year greatly impacted by covid and we are in a private school that almost everyone but us held back from February and March that year so he’s up to 15 months younger than many of the boys. Baseball is by age so we thought it might be better. [/quote]

Almost 10 yr olds weren’t greatly impacted by covid.[/quote]

Do you have a 10 year old? This is the year that many incoming 5th grade classes have a massive increase in red shirts because no one wanted to fawns their kids to kinder that year. (2020) [/quote]

Yes i have a 10yr old. He was in preschool in 2020. There are no more redshirts in his class than his siblings.[/quote]

DP but I agree that there are more redshirted kids in my rising 5th grader's class than there were in my rising 7th grader's class. A lot of people didn't want their kids to do virtual Kindergarten in the 21-22 school year, so they held them back a year. My summer b-day daughter has a lot of friends that are over a year older than her.[/quote]

That’s just gross [/quote]
