[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A U13 boy can look like a 15 year old. with half- moustache and deep voice. Seen it before.[/quote]

My older son was a later bloomer and saw this.  And I did know some of these mustache MS since very early childhood so know their true age.

My son hit his first big growth spurt right before 15 and he is definitely on the later side in this sport from watching countless games, tournaments, indoor/outdoor, etc.

The good news is--by HS it becomes less relevant.  He's a Freshmen now ('05, U16 late fall bday) and will play with the 2005s as well as the 2002/2003s.  He still hasn't finished his growth spurt (not even close) and he hasn't filled out (you can see the teens that are almost done growing--they start getting thicker all over and no longer string beans for the most part), but now you don't really notice the disparity as glaringly as U12-U15.  There is such a HUGE size variation for boys from 12 to 17.  My kid was on the middle-to small size and now is one of the taller ones and still growing...and this only happened in the past 6 months.  And, the kids that didn't grow tall due to genetics--at least filled out with testosterone so stockier and less likely to go down.[/quote]

oh and some of the top teams in his age group all have mustaches and you can see they are maxed out on height already.  they peeked.  it makes it interesting for the final 3 years of HS.  tables turn a lot in these years.[/quote]
