i disagree with hold backs if you cant play people your own age you should not play at all

Wow, i have condescended almost every post you have made, but not intentionally.
I disagree with what you said again, hold backs take so much crap from peoople its not even remotely funny. Consider this, a seventh grader holds back a year, the next year everyone gives him trouble over holding back because he's 14 and the rest of the seventh graders in his county or area are 13. This same kid is penalized because he holds back. Now, let's fast forward a few years, the same kid is in his freshman year. the other players on the freshman team are a year younger, but one of them is on the varsity and getting considerable playing time. Kid 1 (the holdback) is not on varsity. Now kid 2 (the "super-star") complained years back about playing kid 1 who was older than him, but now he is playing against 17, 18, and 19 year olds. Why did kid2 have a right to complain about playing against hold backs, when he will eventually be playing against kids older than him anyway if he has any skill at all? Parents and kids have their own reasons for holding back, so what are you going to do about it anyway? Why is it fair to penalize kids who have held back with good reason? Can you answer my questions? The floor is open to all. (By the way, read my quote it makes a strong statement)
