[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really have not experienced this as the parent of a tall kid who plays by the basket. Yes, the coach has a short kid who plays guard but they rarely make any baskets and while this doesn't matter in 4th and 5th grade--I have to believe it will start to matter in 8th and 9th grade. You have to get the baskets in. Being short isn't that advantageous in basketball. That said, I hear everyone loud and clear on the need to develop court IQ. I will keep encourageing my child to excel at shooting and defense and rebounds and work on dribbling. Opportunities will open for them.[/quote] If your kid is only in 4th or 5th grade, you haven't seen much yet. If his coach sticks him by the basket every game, he won't develop his basketball skills. Season after season, he will get worse as everyone else gets better. [/quote]
