[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread blows my mind, LOL. An 85lb 5th grader is not small. My older DS was 93lbs as a 14yo 8th grader. He is now 6’2”. Boys grow at VERY different rates. Many of the “big kids” at this age will not remain so. Yes, there will always be a bias towards larger kids in sports. [/quote] You see, it’s all relative because my first thought is what is OP talking about? 85 lbs in 5th grade is tiny. My kids were both bigger than that. Sure there are kids much smaller but some much bigger. I think mine were at the 99th and around 80th or so percentile. Now in HS, one of my kids is on the short side and the other is in the 90th percentile. You can’t predict anything by 5th grade heights or 5th grade sports performance. One of mine isn’t even playing sports anymore and the other has switch the sport completely. [/quote]
