[quote=Anonymous]Make no doubt about it, redshirting happens for competitive advantage. On my son's lacrosse team, there are seven kids I can count in my head that are 15 year old 8th graders. My son just turned 14 this week. He is a pretty good lacrosse player. But, he is not at the level of a contingent of kids that are a year ahead of him. It may level out sooner than later. But my concern is that he or other kids his age will be shut out of the limited number of positions available as a freshman and sophomore in high school. In effect, the window of opportunity gets closed before his development can catch up. These are friends of mine as parents. I know them well enough (now) to know they did this by design. If I sound like I feel I am slighted, I am. I only wish that I had read Outliers 14 years ago. I'd do just what they have.[/quote]
