[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is another scenario that I don't believe was considered in the podcast or in this forum: late August kid who is the youngest in his/her grade. Happens to be one of my kids.

This kid wouldn't be trapped but also wouldn't benefit from being "the new early age group". So, we can't say that all August kids would automatically be direct beneficiaries of this.

Compared to current situation where all January kids benefit from being the oldest.

This cannot be a deciding factor but seems even, could be yet another reason to switch to a school calendar year.[/quote]

Why wouldn’t your child benefit from being in the oldest in their new age group? I think the only August kids that wouldn’t benefit would be the ones with a school cut off later than August 1 because their club year and school year wouldn’t align for purposes of college recruiting. (They you’d be playing a year below college scouts would be watching.)[/quote]

Maybe it would be helpful to operate with dates.

Birthday: August 27th
School start last year: August 28th[/quote]
