[quote=Anonymous]Rock climbing is a competitive sport but moving on I know my DS's friends who are on the shorter side often do better at this age at more individual sports. This is why you are getting suggestions like fencing. FWIW, I know a number of shorter kids who have done well enough at sports to play in college. One got a lacrosse scholarship, another swam at a top college and another ran track. Some PPs offered important advice about letting your child know that right now some kids play by brute force so it's the tallest or biggest kids who sometimes get the ball but that ball handling skills and speed will matter more going forward and that if he works hard at those skills he can play whatever sport he wants and do well.[/quote]
