[quote=Anonymous]I found this post just to update it and entertain you all!!! I am the mom of the 3.5yo who was a soccer phenom a few years ago who is the OP of this.  He is now 6.5. He is not a soccer phenom.  He went from being tall for his age to being short for his age.  The other athletic kids his age have since learned to also kick with the laces, lift the ball in the air when they take shots (I don't know if that has a technical term, sorry), etc, and therefore he no longer stands out at all other than being one of the more athletic and interested kids on a team.

I remember how he used to just drill the ball so hard compared to other kids his age, and now he's like 35th percentile for height and weight and kids with no athletic ability who are a foot taller with 8 adult teeth already (there is a kid in his grade like this!) can run up and kick the ball harder.  Oh, and since he's small, he isn't faster than them anymore either.  He's still a good little player and loves playing soccer, but he was definitely surpassed.  If he were trying out for a local U8 club team, he'd probably make the second team, not the first team. And only if the club wasn't one of the more competitive ones.

Just wanted to provide you all some entertainment!!! Carry on![/quote]
