You have the right to hold your kid back for whatever reason you want. What aggravates me is when people want to dictate what other do with their kids. Quite frankly it’s none of your business what someone else does with their kids as long as no rules are broken. This whole thread has a soccer mom feel to it. Man up, and let your son play the game. Or go play soccer with all the other socialists.

Exactly. If your school needs to hold back kids to be successful....you are doing it wrong and that’s sad. Furthermore, if your school can’t compete with a school that holds back players, you too are obviously doing it wrong and that even more sad. You aren’t losing because some kids are held back. Get a better coach and more talent. Pretty simple. Does not matter in the slightest if kids are held back.
