19 is what you are referring to and you are correct but we are not talking about HS. In your sons case I think it was an excellent idea. With such a late birthday if you could of it might of been a good idea to start him late.

The issue is in some areas they hold back the kids to stack the team. A coach stated in this thread before the post was removed that they did this. That I have an issue with. So if they want to do it fine. Kid can play all season but not in the playoffs if he is repeating.
