[QUOTE="Sand Frog, post: 2693343, member: 67625"] Good luck to you as well. I played sports from the time I was 5 until 20. At the end, it had become a job, and I was over it. So, I've really struggled with letting him start this early. I see parents with too high of expectations for their young kids and burn them out. Also, see way too many arm, shoulder, and knee issues with kids under the age of 12-13. In the end, I just want him to have fun and be active outside at this age. My only expectation for the next couple of years. The good thing about this team is this is the coach's 3rd son to start 5U and be coached by him, so he has experience working with and teaching kids this age. The other 2 assists both played college baseball. Most all of the kids and parents attend the same church, so we have a good core of kids and parents that we can hopefully keep together for the next several years. A very well known MLB player has a son their age and at the same church. He didn't want to start him in t-ball for the exact reason I mention above, but he will be on the team next year. A lot of the right people with the right tools seem to be there for he and the rest of his teammates to excel if they so choose to love the game of baseball. That's what I really love about where we moved/live now, and the reason I paid way more for a house and have way further of a commute than I ever wanted. [/QUOTE]
