Our team has a 6th grader that is over 6 foot tall and probably weighs more than 200 lbs playing on 7th grade team. He is a true 6th grader. He's never stayed back. He's bigger than any of our 8th graders even the ones that have stayed back. At this age, it's hard to say about size and speed. Just because a kid stays back doesn't mean they will necessarily be bigger or a danger to someone else.
