[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn't help, they suck if they need to be held back a year for sports. They can't keep up with their age bracket. [/quote] No, it's works all the time. I know a boy who repeated 8th grade and just started at Princeton (baseball commit), class of 2023. Several others who repeated a grade and just committed to Penn, Duke, and Cornell for lacrosse , class of 2024. It happens all the time for lacrosse. These kids aren't bad athletes. They're very good but getting an additional edge for Ivy level recruiting. The ivies and similar take almost only reclassed kids for lacrosse (kids who did one grade twice). it's not my kids but it's very, very common [/quote] Ivies like them older. They have incoming 20-year olds at their ID camps that did gap years, etc.[/quote]
