Eight grade parents hold your kids back?
Not positively sure, but I believe kids have played senior year at 19. Now 20 is definitely too oldnot after aug 1st.
You can play until you’re 20Not positively sure, but I believe kids have played senior year at 19. Now 20 is definitely too old
Such as?It’s bern done more than once. We call it “The Massillon Redshirt” happens a few times recently with some top Ohio recruits.

Well you said they were top Ohio recruits so o figured you’d rememberYou must be pretty young.
There was a huge stink about this in the Independent many moons ago.

Not recently that I’m aware of at Massillon but I’m aware of one of Ohio’s c/o 21 top recruits doing it. He’s not a Massillon kid though. This used to common in Massillon and is where the term originated.Such as?
My guess is that if you are considering the holdback, you are well aware of age limitcan kids pay as seniors if they've turned 19 ?
Not accurate. You are eligible up until your 20th birthday. The August 1 criteria went away several years ago. I thought it was a bad move, but it is what it is.August 1st is the date in Ohio. If you turn 20 after August 1st, your good.
Your kid is different from everyone else. Might be the right decision for your kid but not another. I had one late bloomer who's bday was in January, graduated last year. Just finished his 1st year of college baseball..grew 2 inches and gained 15 lbs. Of course the weight gain is from more weight training but 2 inches? Turned down football offers to focus on baseball but also because of his size. One year would have made a huge difference. Wanted to play football.I have a young 8th grade student. April 19th birthday, one of the youngest in his class that will be entering HS in the fall. The thought of holding him back has not even crossed my mind.
What is the reasoning behind doing this? To give him another year of football and baseball? To me, that seems to be the completely wrong focus and sends the wrong message.

Some don't mind sending a message about going to school on a full/partial athletic scholarship. What is the ultimate goal? To go to school as cheap as possible while playing within the rules. I don't have a problem with that..same as I don't have a problem with your message to your kid.
my grandsons birthday is in July and he is one of the oldest in the class. he could be graduating now but we would have rather him be one of the oldest in the grade than the youngest. don’t regret that decision one bit. he didn’t get an extra year of sports, we still started him with football in the 2nd grade when it was allowedI have a young 8th grade student.
