I have 4 kids. My 2 older kids are pretty good.
My 11 year old daughter plays Travel Softball, AAU Basketball and Travel Soccer. I told her she needs to pick 2 sports only since it was too much. She picked softball and basketball. She is a pretty good softball player. She plays either pitcher, shortstop or 3rd base. She has been clocked at 54mph. She can hit too. Her longest shot dropped 5 feet in front of the fence. That is 195 feet. She plays SG for her AAU basketball team. She is pretty intense. On her CYO Travel team last season she averaged 16pts and 4 steals a game.
My son is also pretty good. He plays up on travel soccer. He is 8 and he plays for a 10U team. On basketball he hustles and shoots pretty well, but he is a little mechanical. He is weird. He dribbles left and shoots right. In baseball he plays instructional. He has hit some really long homeruns this year. The shot he hit last night went 20 feet pass the fence and hit a parked van. They say the fence is around 120feet. A lot of little league coaches are already saying they will draft him next year.
Just a proud papa.

my kid has already been contacted by 14 Division I schools including UCONN, Duke, Wake Forest and Kansas.
He has a 46" jumper and won the high school dunking contest as a 9th grader last year
He plays pointer guard at the height of 6'9" but at any point and time in the game he switches to the Center position where he avg. 9 blks a game this year.
His numbers were 36 ppg 7 assists 9 blks 7 stls
He will be 15 April 1st. He told me that he wants to be a gigolo
Sounds like your got 5 more working years!
My kids are lighting fast, they are slippery, elusive, they got a great first step - all that said: they still have a problem getting to the hole. Condoms got 'em on lockdown.
