@CoachB25 - I said football because that's what happened in both instances. But, I guess you can substitute basketball as well.

My son was a baseball and basketball player when he was younger. And he was pretty good at his age when he was 8 through 11.

But, the reality was that his dad (me) is 5-10. His mom is 5-4. And both of his grandfathers are under 6 feet tall. He was never going to be tall enough to play basketball at older ages. And, he was always getting hurt on the court because he was aggressive and the wood is unforgiving. Finally, he had to miss the start of his 12u baseball spring because of two fractured fingers from playing basketball in February.

We (us and him) decided it wasn't worth it and he stopped playing basketball.

No regrets either.
