Reply to "Advice on Specialization for 8th Grader"

Thx Eokerholm, good points about athleticism. I liked the part about "dunking". Makes the video more memorable, too. I think I might have mis-lead some people when i said he was on two teams. He is, but the coach just plays him on one at at time( switches him around depending on where he needs him).  My kid is  on a break right now due to an avulsion fracture in his hip. He first started mentioning the pain after his swimming practice when they did Dry Land Sprints. Anyway, it sucks, but at least it'll force him to take a break for 3-4 months. He's going stir-crazy, as baseball was his "life" and where all his friends were. Still, I think this break will be good for his "overall health" .

Thx for the good info!
