played in high school, so I can still beat them, despite the speed and leaping ability disadvantage. They can't handle the ball or hit the broad side of the barn, so I'm good as long as I can move. My 11 yr old started playing BB, but is at a significant physical disadvantage until he hits puberty at least. But when he does, I'm a little worried. He is a big kid already for his age, so he may really put me at a physical disadvantage that I can't overcome by shooting better than him. I would give it 4 more years.
