[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many if not most actually encourage redshirting, especially for boys.[/quote]
Not sure about schools in the WCAC, but talk to admissions at the schools regularly mentioned on this site and mention redshirting.  Bet they quickly discourage you.[/quote]

STA routinely reclasses athletes.  They are not only redshirted, they repeat 8th or 9th grade.   [/quote]
If they reclass in 8th grade, do they take 9th grade classes or repeat the 8th grade? A kid isn’t benefiting from repeating the same class work he’s just completed.[/quote]

Reclassing is another way of saying "redshirting" or "repeating a grade" - so if they were in 8th grade and are reclassifyng, then they are doing 8th grade again.[/quote]

STA does not reclass at all. Kids do not repeat grades at STA.

Perhaps you are thinking of the whole Mater Delay/Prep/Gonzaga plan.[/quote]

This is so not true.

They took a kid for 9th grade this year who just completed 9th grade at Wilson/Jackson Reed.  My son knows him.

They do this on a regular basis.  [/quote]

I think the PP might have been trying to say that current students at STA do not repeat grades at STA.

Of course kids coming from other schools to STA will repeat a grade, although it's usually for academic reasons and not necessarily to be bigger and stronger for sports.  [/quote]
