[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Why is academic redshirting seen as an advantage in sports? Every youth sports association I know of has straight age cut offs. You cannot be 19 years old and play Varsity football or 17 for JV in my local area, as an example. So redshirted kids will still be grouped with their real age group in sports. [/quote] This is a great point. I guess it was an advantage back when most people did sports through their high school and grouping was done by grade. But now with all the youth sports that are not affiliated with schools it makes no difference what grade your kid happens to be in when they are 14. I don't know what percent of youth in sports are on teams affiliated with their school vs not, but it definitely seems like the proportion of non-school affiliated is growing.[/quote]
