[quote=Anonymous][quote]I’m sorry OP. It’s hard. Same boat here. My 8th grade DS is 5’4” 100 (just now in the beginning stage of puberty, just grows 2IN a year like always and is skinny as a rail). He is a very good athlete but yes-playing time dramatically reduced by 7th grade.[/quote] My son is in 8th and only 5'2" and 87lbs. He still does fine on his travel soccer team, which is only a mid level team anyway - he gets a lot of playing time. Track team has been tougher - he clearly hasn't gone through much of puberty yet, and he can't get speed up quickly over the shorter distances. Most of the longer races go to kids who also run cross country. I am pushing him to try cross country next year.[/quote]
