[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are these crazy 7 month redshirting parents only redshirting boys? Are all the girls in the grade then younger than the boys? That seems messed up.[/quote] I’m in Texas and yes this is absolutely the case. It is so so weird, I agree. [/quote] It's big in the South because of football/other sports. People want their boys to be as big as possible.[/quote] Aren’t youth sports based on DOB though? You can’t play U11 if you turn 11 before 9/1 (or 1/1 depending on if your league uses school year or calendar year). So you can send your 6.5 year old to K, but you’d have to put him on a 1st grade soccer team. At least here in DC area.[/quote] I don't know if that applies to high-school sports, though, and high-school football, for example, is huge in the South. [/quote]
