It's a term that originates in college football, where a player is held out of games a full year and given an extra year of eligibility to play. They could still work out and practice with the team, where they were identified with a red mesh over-shirt.

Applied to little kindergarteners, it refers to those kids held back a year by their parents, and enrolled at the age of 6.

Ah, yes yes, I'm familiar with the term now. Thanks for refreshing my memory.
