That's crazy. Hope the kid keeps the passion he has for the game and doesn't get burn out on it as much as he plays.

I wasn't as impressed either. I used to watch Blake Bundy do a lot of those dribbling drills when he was in 5th grade, only dif. was Blake would do them during a game with people guarding him. My son was doing "spider dribbling in the 2nd grade, big deal. He is very short and with his muscles already developing the way they are, I doubt if he will be over 5'6" fully grown.
Are all these stats on your son from 1 year? Not saying it can't be, but I would have to see him run 12 second 100 at age 9. What... is he running 10's now?

**FBALL** · 02-05-2008, 11:28 PM

That kid shoots, dribbles and runs better than any 5th grader that I have ever seen.

They showed the kid shoot 2 lay-ups in a game, the rest were just in a gym, I have seen several kids at that age that hand at least the same skills of dribbling drills. Heck, I have seen kids younger learn some of those drills in a week at camp! He does have a nice stroke, but I have seen kids shoot very well at that age.

You dont get out much do you.

And if you were truthful about ZIP you would say that he would tear this kid up on the football field or the baseball field. I would say that they would be close on the basketball court. But I say that Zip could beat him 1 on 1. Try to shoot with someone in your face.

the TDS are from 4 years and the yardage is from 4 years as a 7 year old to a 10 year old. Tackles also in 4 years. the baseball stats are from last year alone and he has averaged around 25-30 home runs since he was 8, well the last 3 years.
Right now he is around 5'2" and is growing still.
I am very proud of my son and there are alot of parents who get tired of hearing his name and I can understand why. He gives 100% in everythig he does and wants to be the best, he is dedicated. And I dont push him,,, he wants to do it, so I let him.
I am trying to get his videos to YOU TUBE Now from football this past year.
