[quote=Anonymous]According to the CDC calculator, a 10 year old boy who weighs 85lbs is in the 82nd percentile for weight. Not tiny at all. That being said, larger kids, and kids who are expected to be big (large parents) tend to gravitate towards certain sports. Leading to a very skewed perspective of what is “average size” by many coaches or parents who are in those circles. Particularly on higher level teams. Being young for grade or for sports cutoff obviously really does not help. [/quote]
