A few things.
1. The khsaa rule never stated that kids couldn’t be held back. Just that they couldn’t be held back after sixth grade and compete in the year they were held back. Kids can still hold back as late as 8th grade. They just can’t play sports in those years.
2. Kids can still hold back prior to sixth grade.
3. These rules have only been in effect for three years so the jr’s and sr’s have not been affected by these rules.
4. It’s honestly kind of pathetic when people complain about hold backs. Everyone plays by the same rules. When it comes to sports you have three options. Hold them back and let them have a small advantage. Don’t hold them back and let them have a slight disadvantage. (Homestly, I think it evens out by their jr year) Or just don’t let them play. There is never going to be a blanket rule that states that nobody can hold back ever. People need to stop trying to dictate what others do with their children.
