[quote=Anonymous]People are confusing issues in this thread.

Many of the original complaints were about children playing a sport competitively, not casually, and being upset that they could no longer make the level of team they used to be on or they weren't getting playing time anymore.  Even that statement tells you these are not rec teams being referenced.  No playing time means it's travel or a club.

I think what people are trying to say is if your child is dedicating all their time to a sport and it's very, very important to them and you can see that passion and intensity and identity with the sport developing (and you as the parent are part of this decision making process because you have shelled out a bunch of $ and your time making this happen for your kid because that's what it takes) , channel them away from a sport where height is a major factor for success if they're not going to be content playing the sport more casually at some point.

Also people are confusing short/average height and late growing.  Different issues.[/quote]
