I hope to see football gain more popularity in our country. This sport can greatly benefit our young children aged 7-10 years old in developing their mobility, coordination, and motor skills with constant running and lateral movement.
Not to offend those kids but my god takbo palang alam mona walang future sa basketball yung karamihan ng player ehh!

I agree very much. A lot of pinoys probably think that futbol/soccer is not popular in the US. But that is far from the truth. It is initially the team sport that most american kids play. Most of them play organized soccer at around 5-7 years old. That's why there is the term "soccer mom." Most kids, both boys and girls, get introduced into sports through soccer.
We all know that is also the case in europe, the americas and africa. It really helps develop foot speed, agility and also "vision" (set ups in futbol are steps ahead). I really think it helps develop speed even in eventually very tall players, especially laterals.
One country that futbol is not famous...China. And we all know how fast/agile their players are.

In the US,by middle school alot of kids just stopped playing soccer,since they outgrew it,their size just way too akward to play the game,hence they gravitate more to American football,basketball and baseball,with some of the fast kids going full at track and field.

He needs to play up at least 3 years. His strength and size advantage will be minimized so he will be forced to develop skills.

I think this one is the most recent video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQ2DmIF5QcQ
Emphasis should really be on basics fundamentals - shooting & ball handling. At a young age, dapat fundamentally sound na yung mga players natin. If this kid ends up 6-foot-7/6-foot-8, hope he has the skill set of a Carl Tamayo but with an athleticism of a Francis Lopez.

He already has big man tendencies because of his competition level. His dad is only 5'11 so it's not really high probability that he exceeds let's say 6'6.
Lower than that height, he really needs to learn how to play like a guard. In a top US youth program, right as you join them they tell you...if you're 6'5 and below, you're a guard. With that rule, they continually produce D1 level prospects.
He needs to work on his ball handling while also playing up where he isn't the biggest or strongest. A level where he actually needs ballhandling and shooting. His goal should be to achieve those guard skills by 14-15 right before the usual big growth spurt.

If you read the comment below his aunt commented that his grandfather on his the father side 6'11 and on the mother side is 6'0...there is chance he will hit the protected height between 6'7-6'9.

at least he's allowed to handle the ball

Judging from how much bigger, faster, stronger he is against his comp, for sure his coaches allow him to do pretty much anything. Which could develop into bad habits (and even attitude).
The thing is, he is still young enough to acquire very good ball handling skills. At his age, it will probably take 3-6 months of proper and consistent ballhandling training.
Once he can handle the ball comfortably, he can play up a few years. Let him play against older competition as a guard, get him used to how guards move.

I take those types of comments with a grain of salt.

Yeah, he should play with & against players a few years older than him. Maybe when he reaches 14 years old, he can already play for Batang Gilas U-16 team. Maybe when he's 15 or 16, he can already play for Batang Gilas U-18 team.

Like I said in the women's thread, Sophia Dignadice who just secured a D1 offer as a sophomore in high school always played up. At least 3 or more against girls and with boys who were also older. She was even scrimmaging with boys who were 3 years older like Ashton Hardaway (son of Penny) who is also headed D1.
Aside from the skill you are forced to develop, it gives you tremendous confidence that when you face competition your age you dominate.
Locally, Gemao has always been doing this and the results show.

Yes, he does. I've called dibs already with his guardian.
Btw, Charles has spread his genes around. I think he has around 5 first born children to different women.

Whew!! Can’t blame those from the opposite sex because once your inside the deepest part of the premises of the British Broadcasting Company it’s a lifetime dream for them, indeed once you pop you can’t stop.
Well the important thing is people like you Sir needs a pat in the back for doing some noble things due to our motivation "because we love the game", sometimes we don't agree on some issues esp. on politics same with Sir Dave, well that's part of the so-called healthy conversation.

The possibility that he came over at around 2016 to 2017 to fill up the residency requirements played for several off-season tournaments before his actual debut on Season 81 up to 83. In fact in the official FIBA website his profile > Nationality is already tagged as Filipino being able to represent the country in a FIBA sanctioned tournament.

Therefore, the Fil-Aus bigman has a chance to play as a local in the FIBA 5x5 in the immediate future considering he already established his strong domestic connection in the same breath as Jason Perkins.
Chapter 1: ELIGIBILITY, NATIONAL STATUS AND AVAILABILITY OF PLAYERS
Players With Two or More Nationalities
Article 17. Amy player who has played (i.e appeared on the final team delegation roster) in a main official competition of FIBA (including a FIBA 3x3 Competition) for a National team for which the player is eligible is considered as having chosen the national team of that country.
As for the local eligibility of Keith Datu, Luis Villegas and BGR well it always depends on the discretion of the Sec Gen and his committee of evaluators on how many years and merits needed to satisfy one’s requirements because the wisdom of FIBA’s Internal Regulation is all about strong domestic connection, representation and involvement we’ve seen how the likes of Brandon Jawato of INA, Moises Morgan, Tyler Lamb and Fred Lish of THA, Eric Gordon of BAS and eventually(?) Klay Thompson got their local exemption as our benchmark/reference for future endorsement.
