That's an interesting question to me too Undercoverwildcat... I've been approached by some varsity coaches about possibility of holding my son back in 8th grade as well, I'm not totally for or against just weighing options that would be best for my son. As far as his age he is actually one of the youngest in his class an THE youngest on his football an basketball team but he is bigger than most of them an competes at a high level? My thoughts are would this holdback help him as far as possibly helping him enough to get a good scholarship or would this make that much of a difference? He will graduate at 17 as it goes now. I've thought about this for sometime, if it's best thing for him an his future that's what's important to me. IF? sports can provide him with an education an holding them back a year will help increase his chances of a good education then seems like a good thing to me..
