[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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] In my area and in some sports they go by HS graduating year. They don't keep asking the class of 2027 how old they are. [/quote] Really? That’s interesting. Most sports I see are strict age/ birth year based. U17 soccer doesn’t care that you’re 18 but a junior in high school, you’re not U17 so you aren’t playing. Same with little league baseball etc they even ask for a freaking birth certificate. [/quote] Rec baseball only goes up to age 14 or 16. The club baseball teams recruit by HS graduating class after that in my area.[/quote]
