[quote=Anonymous]The answer regarding size is not the same for girls and boys. While certain sports favor smaller or larger athletes, girls sports has what I would call a larger grace scale in terms of acceptable span of sizes because on the balance far fewer girls play organized athletics. I’m talking team sports here. DD was able to play through HS despite relatively small stature because she had strong ball skills and the team needed more players to fill out the roster. She was not a starter but got a decent amount of playing time. DS on the other hand is on the smaller side but is an outstanding natural athlete. He’s had a much tougher road because coaches barely give him a second look at tryouts. He’s finally growing and hoping that will help him with club opportunities. FWIW the size issue really started to come into play for DS around 13u. [/quote]
