[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids don’t become real baseball players until about 14. In the younger years they are just getting their baseball IQ and muscle memory. In 10s-13s let your kid play on the travel team with his friends, it doesn’t matter as long as he is playing.  High school is a different story.

Just so you know, OP….Being on a “top team” at 10 means absolutely nothing. Everything gets re-sorted at 14ish as they hit puberty and move to the big field.  There is nothing wrong with being on a winning team or “best team”, but that should not be your focus right now. Put him on a team that works logistically for the family (time, practice location, cost etc) where he will have lots of fun and gets lots of playing time. Ideally, with friends. [/quote]

Agree. Also here to say that if your child is super into baseball and loves it, I would prioritize a program with paid coaches who focus on mechanics and sportsmanship. These two things will set your child up with a solid foundation they can build on later as they grow into their own.[/quote]
