| Any suggestions for small group or individual lessons for T-ball or basketball for a 4/5 year old in Arlington? I have a much older kid and he participated in what seem to now defunct programs back in the day and none of my younger child’s friends and classmates parents have kids into sports. |

| i9 in Fairfax Co serves that age group for Tball See if you have that there or if there is a Fairfax location close to you. Basketball starts for i9 at 5. |

| Arlington Babe Ruth has blast ball (it’s like T-ball but they keep the kids who aren’t batting occupied by doing other drills. Great for that age ) but agree probably closed already for the season. You can always try. |

We’re looking for something more structured to start. Like a clinic or instructor. Planning on LL or ABR for the spring, but my kid is easily overwhelmed in group settings and I think would do better with someone teaching the basics who isn’t a parent volunteer overwhelmed herding an entire team. I never played sports growing up so don’t know how to teach this and my spouse is not interested, unfortunately. Older kid has done some work with sibling, but is very busy with own activities and rarely home. Example: my older kid did Bulldawg basketball (Puppy League). Anyone remember that and know of something similar for basketball offered now? And older kid took lessons from a coach who worked with small groups of very young kids just teaching baseball basics, just how to catch and throw a ball type stuff, before tball. |

ABR blast ball I think it’s free. Golden boot soccer. I also see preschoolers doing soccer at the park at George Mason and Washington.
They are too young for basketball. |

You might see if a neighborhood kid would teach the basics one-on-one.
Both sports you mentioned are popular enough that you could find a teen that is good with kids. |
