[quote=Anonymous]OP; I think you are probably overthinking this. Between my 3 kids, one or the other of them has played pretty much every common sport (at some time or another). I have not seen height be a factor in ANY sport before middle school (at the very earliest). If you’re talking playing in college or even HS varsity- then yes , realistically it is a huge factor.

Even in basketball, it only started to matter at middle school age.

Some of the tiniest kids have actually been the best/better players on lots of my kids’ sports teams actually. They are usually FAST. The best player on my son’s travel baseball team (age 14) is the smallest kid actually- bats lead off and is an awesome pitcher. On my younger son’s flag football team- again- a tiny kid is the star- he is lightning fast and shifty.

If your son remains short, there is no reason he can’t still be a good player/ key contributor in most sports, for a good long time! Besides that- he may very well end up average height or even tall.  I suppose it’s unlikely but he wouldn’t be the first![/quote]
