Level football. All four were the best players as sophomores. Wrestle my age was winning CIF as a freshman. Baseball players that were drafted were the best players as sophomores.

They didn’t need to be held back.

Parents reclassifying their kids for sports is getting out of hand. We are at a wrestling tournament in Virginia Beach

It is absolutely nuts how much is being spent on youth sports

NIL will probably make it worse

I’m not sure it moves the needle much further than scholarships have.

For boys starting school a year later is actually really good for academics,

I can see understand doing it one time, and especially if they have a late birthday but 2 times is just dumb.

Go to USAW events, they are age divisions and not grade based

Yeah we go to these when possible. I like the Jack Roller ones like Reno Worlds or Tulsa because they use the school

No I’m not, I didn’t mean school grade but the calendar year from but it goes September to September instead of January.

So messed up, especially in a sport like wrestling. You should only be able to reclassify up and compete against old kds

Agreed, the difference between a 6th grader and 8th grader is huge due especially when one has hit puberty.

Yeah I think for the most part a lot of kids eventually catch up. I think with boys I’ve noticed the biggest difference

Lots of parents holding back 1 year here in Utah. Haven’t heard of 2. Ridiculous
