I can’t believe the RedShirt mom can’t out two and two together on this.

My July girl started school on time, so young for her grades and is now in fourth grade. We have a track club and mets through the local ymca, with school teams. One girl runner always wins and we get second, the other girl 4/2014 is a full 15 mos only than my child, 7/2015.

So that’s annoying, but the family is not. It’s just hard at this age to deal with losing to someone so much older than you.  It will probably wash out, for girls, by 10th or 11th grade but seems like an athletics advantage for a long while. [/quote]

They redshirted an April girl?  I have really no opinions on what people do with July/August/Sept kids, do what works for your kid and family. They are all close enough to the cutoff that is does not really matter. April seems extreme though, they'll be turning 18 their junior year of high school. Is this a normal thing? [/quote]

I know of one March boy held back and it is ridiculous. [/quote]
