I had a starting 5 of holdbacks and when we played summer ball and traveled we played up an age level. As 7th graders we played two high school teams. We wanted to play against kids 1-2 years older than us becuase that will make you better and make you work harder. We never played kids our age, always older than us. Sounds like some of the people on here are worried about little Johnnie getting a trophy,lol.

That is great and i am familiar with your situation however, if you are not playing against kids 1 or 2 years older your logic does not work. If you look at the holdbacks here the only kids playing against older kids in county sports are the non holdbacks.
