[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For sports.  That’s the truth.  And it worked - he got a baseball scholarship to college.  [/quote]

Ditto, except even with redshirting my son was the smallest kid on his varsity teams freshman year (family history of delayed growth).[/quote]

I’m judging. This is sad. If he couldn’t have gotten it if he went on time he took another kids spot. 
Both DH and I were D1 athletes, DH on full football scholarship and summer birthdays and still wouldn’t do this. [/quote]
DP. Sadly I know a lot of people who did this. Several kept kids even 2 years. For losing in an individual sport. It was not because they were small or shorter, one was over 6'2" in 8th grade. It was because they started to lose and their ranking went down. So you can scam rankings in tennis with two apps that do it. Kids can't compete in USTA or ITF tournaments unless in his/her age group, but for college purposes, they manage to scam even two years somehow. I know parents who put their kids on adhd meds to improve tennis performance.[/quote]
