'm a Curtis grad and I was held back in 6th grade. My good friend who I won't mention was held back in 8th grade so that he could have three years as a starter vs two.

It's been widely known and totally legal by all the rules. They spot a talented middle school athlete and convince parents to hold him back. It improves his shot at a college athletic scholarship(part the parents like) and helps the HS team win championships and the kid can be a star(kid loves this part). Win win.

Nothing can be done to stop this abuse. It be what it be.

The problem is they have Coach Corey go recruit middle schoolers and offer the family scholarships if they can't afford the tuition. I don't know if they do this anymore, but definitely did while I was there.
