It will be interesting to see how advanced (or not) these kids are down the road. Before the days of "select ball", kids played hours and hours of baseball, or some form of it with their neighborhood rules, for hours on end everyday. Many of these 11 year olds will change sports (lacross is taking alot of baseball players away), lose interest, get a job, find a girlfriend, or be distracted in some form or fashion and their baseball interest with fade away.
My son is an average height 12 year old. There are 12 year old kids on his various sport teams that are already 6 foot tall or getting close to it. Alot of these kids have already passed their Dad's height. My Son get discouraged because of their size and I've had to explain that time will be the great equalizer. I'm 6'6" tall and Mom is 5'10, I assume he will pass alot of those kids in height down the road. My point is that some of those kids on the select teams now will not develope physically to play HS and beyond ball.
