[quote=Anonymous]Hi All, My oldest son is 11 and going into 6th grade. since 3rd grade he has been doing AAU basketball at different levels and different teams. he also plays football and lacrosse but I am noticing kids as young as 4 and 5th grade are already specializing in basketball and not playing any other sports. just training and playing tournaments year round. his current AAU coach has started an intense training program where he wants a year commitment for training and tournaments. we've also tried some local bball training programs and I also seen kids in elementary training like they are professional players. it just seems the wrong approach given the kids are so young and puberty determines a lot when it comes to athletics. many of these kids I see training will be lucky to be 5'7'. Are you all seeing this too with kids on basketball teams you play on? I didnt think kids specialized until high school unless you are a prodigy. thanks [/quote]
