I didn't play AAU but under Wayne Thornton's Y High School Summer League. My father had me weight lifting by the 6th grade. By senior year from high school I had a constantly sore ankle, sore knees and in 2016 after severe back problems that left me mostly bedriden, the doctor nailed it down that the early start at weight lifting in the sixth grade had finally reared its ugly head on my scoliosis."A kids body is not ready for that type of stress. You pay for it later in life".

I have red similar studies about stress injuries in young children, with all sports. Gymnastics seems to be the biggest culprit, but everyone excuses it because specializing in that particular sport before age 10 is required to compete at almost any level.
