If you were in our school system you would be laughed out of the building if you attempted to hold your child back for sports reasons. if you were really worried about his age/maturity you would have started him in K/1st grade later. Let's not pretend your on a baseball website asking about NCAA rules for an 11 yr old for any reason other than holding him back in hopes he can have one more yr to develop.

Crazy idea.

by the way, your son can burn out in a few yrs and not want to play anymore, I see it all the time. Be prepared in case it happens. Please find something more productive to do with your time then considering messing with your child's education over sports.
