Out here in Eastern Kentucky, the education is not worth holding a kid back. I agree with some of you that it is considered a waste of taxpayers money to "babysit" a child just for the fact that they can "mature" or be part of a "dynasty" team. There are a lot of thing wrong with that.....A)No a single person in this state can tell how good a child will be at a sport in the fourth, fifth, or sixth grade. Bodies change, mentalities change, and just kids in general change. So holding them back at that age is silly. B)What on Earth is the point of holding a child back at the young ages of kindergarten, first, or second grade other than purely academics? The child barely knows what the word sports means? So I totally agree with hardcore1 with getting rid of the 19 age rule. Leave "redshirting" and everything for the college and pro level where people have already developed and developed an understanding of the game and where they potentially have their career invested in a sport.
