Nope, not jealous about of valley. That is just the facts. Valley will hold kids back to have a better middle school team. The facts are still the same, by the time you hit your junior and senior year, you dont see kids that was held back being better players than ones who wasnt. Holding back just affects the middle school and freshman teams. Also, if a child has to be held back in middle school to be able to play better than there peers, maybe they should consider a different sport to play or just concentrate on the education part of of the school system. After all, that is the reason for schools anyways, to get a education. If you are a player, you will succeed if you are held back or not. I agree with what others are saying on here. You get better by playing against better players. If you get held back, you are generally playing against younger weaker players untill they get a year or two maturity under there belts.

I disagree 100%.
