[quote=Anonymous]The red shirting thing is annoying and should be banned.  Especially when's the old fashioned held back, dumb players.  Kids need to play in their own age groups.

That being said.  I can see how it gets to be sort of an issue even amongst the same age groups.  IMO if he can make the teams, it's a long-term advantage at least in basketball.  Eventually 99.99% you will have to play against people taller much much taller.  You'll also need to acquire the skills that shorter players typically need to acquire.

Though on that point.  IMO I don't think people give taller players the credit they deserve for the skills they do acquire.  Again in basketball, taller/bigger players can start younger learning to shoot and pass.  Especially, amongst girls this is a huge advantage in acquiring skills.  Smaller players literally can't hit the rim, so can't acquire the skills.  I mean Basketballl is a skills sport.  I think there is a rough patch when kids are growing alot, or if taller haven't finished developing where they have trouble with skills, but when they get the coordination and speed.  It's all over. If you watch smaller players they bounce the ball way way too much and often times don't have the shooting passing skills.[/quote]
