Ds1 (15) is a very short 5ft 1 compared to his peers and he is insecure about it, but it doesnt normally bother him to much.
As its the summer holidays I always book my dc into a local the summer activities camp, ds1 really enjoys sports and particually basketball. I know all about the Lakers, Toronto Rapters and Chicargo Bulls. At school we dont normally play basketball but we have a hoop at home.
So at summer camp he put his name down for basketball and he didnt do to well, he said it was not the skill but he could not shoot or jump high enough.
This just made me feel really sad, i suggested to try another sport where height is less of a neccessity, but he really loves basketball.
Im not vary tall 4ft 10 and dh is only 5ft 5. This reminded be of when i did ballet but became to busty to fully excel.
Any advice please, im new to mumsnet.
