Theres no holding kids back for sports or other readons in Iowa? No
exceptions? Really? Wow. Thats actually great.

I'm sure people figure out a way to make it happen, but the general rule is if you turn 5 by Sept. 15, you start school that year. If you turn 5 after that date, you can't start until the next year. I would have started my son a year earlier if not for that rule.

We actually had a kid who skipped kindergarten on our team — three weeks younger than my son, but a 2017 grad. Unfortunately, our travel coach was the elementary school principal who had him skip.

My son always told his coach that the 2017 didn't skip a grade cause he was smart, but because the coach/principal put him in the wrong class.
