[quote=Anonymous]RAE exists in college volleyball, even with all the different cutoffs. ... Chaos Caused by Different Cutoff Dates: Relative Age Effects and Redshirting in Collegiate Volleyball in the United States... https://www.mdpi.com/2075-4663/13/2/53#sports-13-00053-t001

"No matter the confusion caused by the numerous cutoff dates for school in the United States, RAEs are prevalent in men and women’s volleyball when accounting for the school cutoff and athletic timing. This provides an unfair advantage to those born closer to their state’s cutoff date. Though these individuals are affected by two dates (club and school), our data suggested the following: (1) Women’s school group did follow the expected RAE pattern of Q1 > Q2 > Q3 > Q4, with the on-time athletes having stronger RAEs. There was no significance associated with redshirting. (2) The on-time club group showed AT was a significant contributor to RAEs. (3) RAE in the school men’s group was only significant for the OT men. There was no significance associated with redshirting (4) There was no significant findings related to the club cutoff. Overall, the school cutoff date seemed to be predominant, as shown by the fact that about half of the men were affected by two cutoff dates five months apart, but only RAEs related to the school cutoff date were present. Additionally, women were found to have stronger significant distributions when comparing the school and club data as a whole and for OT athletes. It is important to acknowledge there may be unintended consequences when adapting the existing age group structures; thus, it is important to ensure that such attempts are evaluated before being widely implemented. That being said, continuing to investigate ways to reduce RAEs, including redshirting, is necessary. For volleyball to continue to grow in popularity in the United States and around the world, the goal should be to even the playing field at early ages for all who want to be involved in the sport."[/quote]
