Reply to "Repeating A Grade"

I have an August 2002, so he is a 14u 2020 like you....I understand. However, I have to say I'm not taking this approach with my son. If he isn't ready phsycially or academically when 2020 hits he will likely go to a Junior college (JUCO) to mature a bit. JUCO's often give scholarships AND have great relationships with 4 year schools, who are also looking for an older player who can contribute right now to their program.

While right now you think you would be "much more ahead of your game if you were a 2021", I have to say, they will be catching up soon due to their growth spurts and getting older. The difference in an 8th grader vs. 9th grader can be HUGE. The difference in an 11th grader vs. a 12th grader is not nearly as big.
