[quote=Anonymous]In most of the team sports you mentioned- yes. That said, there are other factors. Also depends on what age & “level” you are talking about (college? high school? top travel teams?) For example, baseball- there are plenty of average sized or smaller players who start on high school teams. Strength and speed matter nearly as much as pure size/height (other than maybe for pitching). For college recruiting, though? Height is a much bigger issue. I assume you are talking about youth sports here, and at certain ages (the ages where there is a vast difference in who has hit puberty and who has not)- the size issue is the most pronounced that it will ever be. Two boys the same age can be basically “grown men vs little boy”( physically). It can be discouraging, for sure. [/quote]
