However, due to the physical size difference, drop out rate, and reduced playing time of the 6th graders, compared with the older players, the school agreed to support the new program in order to provide the 6th graders an opportunity to increase their self confidence by playing with children closer to their own size and by playing in the game more, instead of sitting on the bench.
