Yotes,

Welcome. My son is also one of the youngest in his class, and will be 17 upon HS graduation. He told me just a month ago he is so glad we never held him back for sports. We thought about starting him in K a year later because he was so quiet and held my hand virtually everywhere. His PreK teacher advised against it. Said he was very ready, and was fine as soon as I left in the am. He loves his classmates and teammates, and stacks up well. I'm afraid holding your son back at this stage in the game could backfire, certainly from an academic standpoint.
