- Do I bother having him try out for this team again or find another? If he truly enjoys it, find another team. Others have said it, but he isn’t valued on his current team. Its important for him to get quality reps and not just be parked in RF. By his age, most kids have found their general game time position(s). That doesn’t mean he can’t break out of RF, but without the reps, he won’t. You’re most likely in a major metro area with tons of options. It takes some research to sift through the BS and find the right fit. Training outside of the team practices is highly recommended too. If you’re in the Houston area, I’d be happy to share some knowledge with you.
on a similar note: I was recently asked by another parent if I thought a kid would make a HS team Kid is heavy, slow, not a huge arm. My response: who knows? he’s 14 and doesn’t look like he’s hit any growth spurt. Could be a beast in the near future. You just never know.
