| DS age 8 enjoys baseball and plays on an organized team in the spring and fall - his sibling does not play baseball nor does she have interest in throwing the ball around with her brother, so he tells us he can't practice baseball without us (one of his parents) participating with him. We try to play with DS on the weekends, but he'd like to play after school and it is dark when we get home from work. I see lots of houses around with lacrosse rebounders in the yard for the budding lax players, and soccer goals in the yard for budding soccer players, and basketball nets in the driveway for budding basketball players. A friend suggested getting a lacrosse rebounder for DS because lots of kids use it for baseball as well, especially in order to practice alone. DS likes baseball enough that I'd invest in a one if he really will get use out of it for baseball practice, but I've never heard of anyone using a rebounder for baseball. DS does not play lacrosse, fwiw. Is my friend correct, and if so, is there anything different one should look for in a rebounder to be used for baseball vs lacrosse? Thanks. |

| Get a baseball specific rebounder. My 8 year old baseball player loves it and uses it all the time. He got it for Xmas last year. |

| what did you ever decide? I'm in the same boat...the lacrosse ones seem to be much more sturdy! |

| NP. I bought a relatively inexpensive one ($40) from Target recently, and it works great for simple rebounding and catching. |

| I recommend getting a good quality pitchback made specifically for baseball. If you take good care of it, it should last for a while. Don't get something cheap -- go to an online baseball supply place. Youwill oprobably spend $100 or more. |

| We have a nice baseball pitchback (don't remember how much it was but it was fairly expensive, I think) and my boys use it a TON. We leave it outside and have had it for a few years, still in great shape; we only drag it into the garage for a month or two during the dead of winter. They use it themselves or with friends, but they also use it if just one of them is playing. Great investment and really helps them practice - totally worth it. |

Using a lax rebounder for baseball could work well. I'd suggest going with a baseball specific rebounder though.
You can usually scoop one up for $100 or so. If you think a lax rebounder would work better, checkout this complete list of rebounders--It's the only one of it's kind I've found on the internet.... http://lacrossescoop.com/rebounders/lacrosse-rebounder-buying-guide/ |
