You are close to this issue, on another topic you were trying to schedule games for Corbin 7th and 8th grade teams wanting coaches with open dates to give you a pm, so don't go there. If you dropped one team from your schedule for hold backs you should let those other team s know you don.t play teams with holdbacks or have you got a preference on which teams with holdbacks you play. The key word is promotion and you are wrong again the parent does have a say but the finale decision is with the local school authority,your conference can only blackball those teams.[B]My friend ask your self if it is not legal why are holdbacks allowed to play in the middle school playoffs. [/B]Most parents hold their kids back at a young age so they can dominate recreation league ball and when little Johnny don't grow or develop they get lost in the shuffle (did the school official decide Little Johnny needed held back twice at Corbin once in the 4th and once in the 7th) or was it his parents ha, ha. The kid that has never been held back gets in middle school and has the size,skills and potential to maybe get a scholarship and that one year may be the difference,then he should have his extra year like those recreation league all americans did. Your site base will not let holdbacks play so I guess the rest of the world needs to follow your lead,but that is not going to happen.:worthy:

I have family that plays for corbin, but i have nothing to do with the issues between the teams that are no longer in the conference. All i know is there were teams that wouldn't agree with the rules that the conference wanted. And when i was told that our schedule wasn't full i thought i would use this site because i know there are coaches on here. I thought this topic could be argued by both sides without getting personal, but obvioulsy with you thats impossible. So last thing im going to say is i would hate for there to be an investigation down there for a kid that was retained, however he has always been a great student academically. I wonder if he has any family in the school system or anyone that has a lot of pull with the football program?hh:
