[quote=Anonymous]BTDT. I would not accept the “manager” role. He won’t learn anything from it at this age, and will be very awkward for him IMO.

The good news, is if they offered him that, he is well liked and probably barely missed making the team.

Focus on a fun summer ahead. Non- baseball things (other than practicing if he WANTS to, or maybe signing up for baseball skills sessions or camps if he wants to)

If he wants to make the team next year, I’d have him work on whatever his strength is, after a break. If he can pitch, work on that. They’ll always take the top few pitchers. Interested in catching? Buy used gear and learn, ask to play there during rec ball- catchers have an advantage in making these teams as well. They need a lot of pitching and catching to get through tournaments. Also work on out fielding skills- a surprising number of younger kids struggle in the outfield (and many have a poor attitude about playing OF as well, IME). Take him to the batting cages and play catch with him if he wants.

BTDT and am on my 3rd kid playing baseball/softball. Figured out the ropes after kid #1. [/quote]
