[quote=Anonymous] :D [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yes it's usually around 11 to 13 years old and 3 to 4" in a year when it happes it;s typically just one big sputt and maybe a couple of smaller ones for 1-2 years after.  People typically don't obsess over growth spurts in girls because, broadly speaking, girls aren't penalized for their heights the same way boys are.

BTW growth spurts function the same way for boys, too, though it's generally a little later, 13 to 15.   Most children are completely done by 16. Those who grow significantly after thinking 2 inches generally start puberty later. It's not common to have huge growth sports in college despite what popular culture claims. Sidenote here, it's also common to give college athletes that extra quarter of an inch because it looks better on reports /[/quote]

extra 1/4 inch - LOL - sometimes as bad as 2-3 inches especially near thresholds for certain positions - see diego pavia listed vs actual measurements at the combine[/quote]

:D  very true![/quote]
