[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just want to provide a different perspective and maybe one that brings hope? I have a 12 year old son who plays travel baseball with a mix of 7th and 8th graders. All but 2 kids are 13 already. My son is the 3rd tallest kid at 5’5” and the tallest kid is probably 5’7”. We have several kids who are 4’8” and most are probably 5’1” or 5’2”. Our team is good! You don’t have to be enormous to play. Our smaller size belies our fielding strength and our defense is what wins games. [/quote] My kid is going to open gyms for a team that will be 13u. There are multiple athletic 6 footers. Your kid sounds like that are just at the cusp of the age where enough boys have growth spurts for height to really matter [/quote] +1 My kid was on a 13U team last year that had multiple 6 footers. Average height was probably 5’6”-5’7”. Definitely no kids under 5 feet tall. [/quote]
