Dottie - sports is a consideration especially for my DH who objected to the skip initially because of that. But, sports is another thing that has been significantly cut from schools. While there are sports teams at the high school and a few at middle school, most kids that are interested in sports play little league or some other type of club sport and high school sports. My DS loves sports and right now he plays baseball, basketball, wrestles and skis (we ski together for fun) none of that is through school. Even in HS, wrestling and basketball are in the same season, so he will eventually have to choose. And, I just think that if he skips and can't play varsity baseball until 11th grade because of it when maybe he could have played in 10th grade, I think that would be fine.
