People might help them keep their weight down during the 3 month season but I don't buy it that they try to keep them light to be a 4X placer. You are in essence saying they are trying to stop their growth. I don't know anyone that didn't let their kid get up to whatever weight during the off-season and then deal with it. In-season weight control, yes but year round weight control? I call BS unless the kid was fat and needed year round control.
