I don't agree with holding them back for sports. I'm sure however there are kids out there who would benefit from an extra year to mature (academics/behavior). If people are truly concerned about their kids graduating at 17, then do the math early on and keep them out of school until age 6. I agree it can be hard to compete against the teams that are loaded with holdbacks. From what I've seen most teams have 1-2 players who have been held back. Are there any 15th region teams with more than 1-2 holdbacks, I haven't seen any teams with all 19 year olds.

JC and SV come to mind. I don't know how old the kids from SV will be when they graduate some other will have to chime in.
