[quote=Anonymous]One thing I’ve heard is that pre-puberty, there’s about a 2-year standard deviation among kids in terms of physical size and athletic ability. So some 8yos look/play like 10, and some 10yos look/play like 8. Both are normal, not outliers. By middle school, some kids are getting hurt. Others start to burn out. Still others are just beginning their upward trajectory — they’ve been middling players on youth teams, but are now putting the pieces together. If you have older kids, you know that having a 9yo who plays up a year means NOTHING. Focus on situational awareness/game IQ/knowledge of the sport — those are the things that often get left behind when a kid can rely on just being bigger and faster. [/quote]
