[quote=Anonymous]Yes, it is a bummer that the team sports favors the bigger kids, at least once they get to be teenagers.  I have a very athletic kid who is one of the best on his soccer team and one of the better ones on his baseball team.  He is 9 and 4'2" and 55 lbs.

In soccer he is fast and agile and can and does score.  He plays wing or striker, depending on where the coach needs him.

In baseball he is currently playing mostly infield and he is a pretty good pitcher, at least at this level.  The bigger issue with the infield is that he is a lefty.  It's ok now because he is a good fielder with quick reflexes but it won't always be that way.  If he continues with baseball, he is going to have to rely on his speed and his arm to be an outfielder.  I'm pretty sure he isn't going to be tall enough to play first base.

He loves sports and is good at them but I worry when all the kids hit puberty.  We think he is also going to be a late bloomer in that area, so its going to be tough.
