[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The trade off is that a bad birthday for a club cutoff can mean a good birthday for school. A kid born on January 2 would be old for club sports that start their age determination on January 1. A kid born on October 1 of the same year will be 9 months younger and that makes a difference. The difference diminishes over time but still exists throughout the child years. But - that kid born on October 1 will be old for their high school sports. The October 1 birthday kid will be a school year behind the January 2 birthday kid. That also makes a difference for college sports. College coaches are looking at when a kid will show up on campus as a freshman. Their age does not matter. [/quote] That’s because in college- kids are fully grown. An 18 year old competing against a 22 year old is okay because their bodies are what their bodies will be. [/quote]
