[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IF he's going to be 6'5, you can start in middle school. Otherwise, too late.  [/quote]

My son is 6’4” and played rec through elementary school. Two years without playing due to COVID, then made his high school varsity because of his height and potential. He ended up sitting on the bench for two years before quitting. He simply wasn’t as good as other kids who just loved basketball more and who played travel in middle school.

So, even with the height, you still need to put serious effort and time in before 9th grade.[/quote]

Why not move him to JV or C team? Sounds like terrible coaching. [/quote]

Yeah, it wasn’t a great decision by the coach. He learned a ton and was really proud to be on varsity when he was a 9th grader, so didn’t ask to move down. In 10th grade he thought he’d play more…until he realized he wouldn’t. By that time he’d played too many games/minutes (forget the rule) in varsity so he couldn’t move to JV.

It’s all good now - he’s going to play baseball in college. He’s always liked baseball more…hence the not practicing enough for basketball.[/quote]
