Coach 5150

I understand what you are saying about your kid and the frustration you feel with his talent. I have a similar situtaion with my son, but he is not as big as your kid. However, he is sor of tall for his age and is the fastest kid around. His skill level in every sport he plays is beyond the kids he contends with. I have found though that as you compete against other cities in all-stars or "bowl" games in football you do come across other kids with great talent. In football my 9 year old son just dominates. He is fast as ######, stronger than the other kids, and his knowledge of the game is years ahead. Defensively he is the anchor and is dominant. Offensively he scored 38 TDs in 11 games and threw for 5 TDs and could of done more, but we took him out to share the ball. His arm is the strongest and most accurate than any kid we see and he receives compliments from opposing coaches at every game. But I know as he gets older he will face tougher competition because the kids will improve and grow and will get better. Mark my word our boys will not be dominating in 5-6 years. I'll bet they'll be great players, but others will catch up to them or be very close. BTW, my son is just as good in baseball, basketball, and ever soccer. In baseball he plays with 9 & 10 year old kids. Being just 9 he still excels and is our league's best fielder and hitter. In our all-star games he faces very good young talent from other cities and continues to do great. But their is better talent out there if you look hard enough. I would suggest you look for a travel baseball team to give your son more competition. Get your son on a competitive team and work on his speed and skills. A competitive coach will use him as a back if it means winning games so don't fret over it too much right now.
