[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sports are by birth year not by grade.  So if he got red shirted in school he would go to sport with kids one grade above.  So he'll miss playing sports with his classmates.

If there is no obvious reason to redshirt (which rarely was), send him on time. [/quote]

Depends on the sport.[/quote]

This. Soccer for us has been by birth year. Baseball is by birth year but they have 2 year gaps. Basketball has been by grade level. There is a huge difference between the younger 5th graders and the older 6th graders, the league is grades 5/6. I know some of the kids who red shirted in DSs class, we know the parents, and their kid is one of the taller kids as a fifth grader but he could be a sixth grader. [/quote]

Lacrosse goes by birth year too.[/quote]

Baseball in the areas I have lived in go by age on April 30. So half the kids are in one grade and the rest in another grade. It's one of the few sports that benefits summer birthdays. [/quote]
