[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes the truth can be painful to hear. Good thing this is only about youth athletics, which are inconsequential.[/quote] It’s short sighted to focus on developing the largest kids (especially when they are just older) and some may top out at 5’6. In a private school that the kids will likely stay all the way through it’s not a smart move. I also believe in developing kids equally at this age especially on a school team. This isn’t a Varsity HS team, it is 5th grade. [/quote] It is indeed very short sighted but it is still what 90% of coaches do anyway. When those kids don’t pan out size-wise (this will be the case for many of them) they too will struggle for playing time or be cut. It is the way it works. If your kid is on the small side, he will have to work harder than the others, and bide his time. [/quote]
