[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just an FYI things aren’t always better on the other side. DS had his growth spurt early- 5-6th grade. He was so terribly in coordinated at the time. Many here are mentioning basketball, DS was always told to stand under the basket and the shorter, faster, more coordinated kids got much more ‘ball time’ in ES and MS. Now in HS, he is just over the average height. But, he was abnormally tall in MS and it impacted him in negative ways as well.[/quote] This was my early grower in basketball too. And at that age (5th/6th) the less well coached teams have no clue how to properly use "the big guy" yet. He did a lot of running and standing around. He is now in 7th and used to his body and height more (in my case my kid is pretty well above average in the end) and he's doing really well. But it was a rough 2 years and he almost quit playing. I think there is a rough patch for all of them.[/quote]
