Maybe the coaching is to blame or maybe some kids move to other areas. Kids usually move if and when parents move if job transfered. Maybe the kid is not willing to put in the time and training it takes to play high school ball. Some give up the sport to play other sports,there could be many reasons such as injuries,etc.

the difference between 12 to 15 is huge in maturity the difference between 16 and 19 not so much the players advantage goes away when the other kids mature too it is only helpful at the middle school level nobody holds back a kid in high school there is no sports advantage to doing so i wonder how many band kids get held back at these schools middle school needs a three year clock just as high schools have a four year clock
