[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So your kid sits out all those years everyone else is learning how to play the game right way, and now he wants to come back in.

Grow some backbone. Your kid mad his bed. Time to lie in it.[/quote]

NP: what? This is nonsense. My 10yo has a 12yo kid on his fall ball team (LL majors) who has never played organized baseball in his life, and he is very much welcome! If it is a rec league there is no reason the kid shouldn’t sign up. The kid I mentioned above is working hard and contributing to the team- they’ve only had 2 games so far and he’s gotten two hits (and struck out the rest of the time yes)- only plays RF for now but is working hard to improve. There is a place for everyone. While her kid is likely to be one of the weaker kids on a team (for now) that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t play and learn. If he works hard he can catch up surprisingly quickly (especially if he is athletic in general)- might even surpass some of the kids who’ve been playing for years. You can’t teach talent and that will become more and more obvious as the kids get older. [/quote]

Agree, this is really stupid. If nothing else, OP can find a league with other kids who are also trying to get up to speed. Even adults have kickball leagues for christ's sake.[/quote]
