[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm sorry your son is experiencing this.  I know it's painful for both of you.

I agree with a PP that posting this question in the sports forum would get you better feedback.  But I would definitely explore AAU teams.  There are a lot of teams, find a few and attend their try-outs, and don't just try-out for one team.  I believe AAU starts after HS basketball season, so in the meantime over the winter I would have him play rec ball.  Keep him playing!

There are also basketball training facilities, google "Basketball training near me", and you should see some places.  That might be an option to work on skills that he may need training on.[/quote]

P.S.  Don't worry about college basketball at this point.  He's in 9th grade!  Focus on playing and developing in the game he enjoys.

My son's HS basketball team was full of kids who were sure they'd go D1.  And of course none did.  Now some did play D3 and that's great.  But there's also club basketball in many colleges, intramural basketball, other ways to play.[/quote]
