My 12 year-old finished the week-long basketball tryouts and made the team.
He's homeschooled, but state law allows him to try out for the local school's team.

It probably helps that he's over 5'9" barefoot, has arms and legs longer than mine (at 6'2"), has a flat-footed reach of 7'8", and is the only player at tryouts who can jump up and touch the backboard.
Also plays good defense and rebounds well.

Interesting years to come.
