Every parent that has been on the border is going to use the current situation with school uncertainty to move back a year. In our area it is already happening, even with kids that are big and hit their growth spurt. This weekend saw a 14 year 10 month old pitch in a 13u tournament. That is 2 years separation. In the past couple of weeks it has felt like many of the 2025 teams are picking up new reclassified players.
I can see the conversation in two years "the coaching staff knows you should be on varsity bc you have the skillset of a junior but we're keeping you on freshman this year because we need someone to drive the team to away games"
