RJM, I agree. Heck, my daughter was very tall at a young age. I was once the head coach of 3 sports at the same time of which one was girl's basketball. She could go between her legs, spin move, ... She was good at the 3 point shot and could make layups with both hands. However, watch out. When she was in 5th and 6th grades, and at my varsity basketball practices, she would sneak outwith my keys and go upstairs to hit softballs in the cage. I'd hear the sound and know exactly where she was. In 7th and 8th grades, there was no question what she was going to do. Your child is doing something I'm betting RJM and others did "back in the day." Played what sport that was in season and had a great time doing it. Nothing wrong here. If he is doing something athletic then let him have down time to rest his body. JMHO!
