[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m honestly embarrassed to admit there were some shorter kids with much more hustle. He was not in the fastest group by a long shot (not slow either though. He can definitely rebound but he just seems to not be as coordinated as some of these kids because he’s grown so fast it’s like a giant baby giraffe. I didn’t realize how good the top 25 kids would be. My husband thinks a lot of this was because they were in an elementary school gym and at no point did they go full court. I’m not trying to make excuses but when you are so tall being on a tiny court gives so little room to really spread out and show other skills (ball handling, etc). So many ball hogs too that is was hard to even understand what the coaches could see. [/quote]

Imagine being embarrassed of your own child because he isn’t as good at a sport compared to others his age. You’re the epitome of what’s wrong with youth sports, especially in this area. Maybe instead of coming to an anon forum and making fun of your own son, you should tell your worthless husband to get a hoop in your driveway and actually spend time with him. You don’t need private coaches and clinics at this age - just a parent who actually cares about the right things, a ball, and some space to dribble (which isn’t much). Your DS playing in an elementary school gym also has literally nothing to do with his skill level (what a completely asinine take). It’s cause the only time he probably ever practiced up until now was during his rec season (1-hour a week for 2-3 months out of the entire year).

Just another NoVA mom upset they don’t get to tell their friends about how their son is on the All Star/Select/Travel team. [/quote]
