The kids are already playing against kids that are 2 yrs. older than them in some cases. To compete at the highest level kids have to hold back. I agree that it does not help the kids when they r playing kids that are their same age but to keep up at a high level you have to do it. There is a huge difference in one more year of development, not to mention 2 more years. The real difference that will help the kid that holds back will be seen in his Junior and Senior year of high school.
