Further, rosters are compiled in 2-year segments, so sometimes that Dec. bday kid will play with athletes 2 years older than they. I'm going to assume 1/1 must be a common cutoff internationally. Not surprising since organized sports are not common outside in other countries.
Once you get to high school age, the age difference is usually not as big a deal with girls as it is with boys. At least typically doesn't make a big difference physically. Differences tend be more experience and skill rather than physical development.
Agreed, but when 18 playing with 20 y/0 with 2 years' college and probably USA and international experience, there is catching up to do. But the male/female contrast in development/maturity can be vast and real. Having had both under one roof, it is truly fascinating.

The 2-year January 1 cutoff is for FIVB events. So for Youth National and Junior National teams, birth date really does play a big role. USA Volleyball club events use September 1 to try to keep kids that are in the same grade playing together. Typical for most youth sports, though I ran into a couple of differences when my oldest granddaughter was playing a variety of sports at a younger age. Her soccer cut-off was 8/1 and softball was supposedly 1/1. Don't know if these were local or regional association dates or a national association.
