Again I agree with you barrel.......playing twice in the same grade is my definition of a holdback. I just don't see how it helps the better athlete to remain in the same grade and play, for the most part, lesser competition. They learn bad habits and it doesn't prepare them for high school athletics. If a player stays back early in school or starts later into school then normally progress with his or her grade it seems those athletes fair better in the long run than the others.
