[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid just made the freshmen team. Cuts were brutal and several of his friends who played travel and AAU got cut.

My kid played on 3 different teams last year, did a ton of skills clinics and plays basketball every spare moment he’s got. My kid is naturally athletic but isn’t that tall 5’10”. DH and I are average height. I would be surprised if ds is taller than 6’. He may or may not make JV and unlikely to make varsity.

The really good kids have both size 6’3”+ and skill and effort. Some kids may have all the heart but you can only be so good when a 6’7” guy with long arms is guarding you. My kid is very good at shooting but when these huge kids who are almost a foot taller are guarding him, it is just hard to score. He dominated in middle school.[/quote]

That’s what the athletic kids do, they play every time there is opportunity.  I wouldn’t rule out varsity basketball.  How many students in any given high school are 6’4”.   And even if they are all they might not be int in sports.   My nephew, 6’6”, did not play basketball.  [/quote]
