[quote=Anonymous]Depending on where in Falls Church you are, you’re likely within the boundaries of the McLean, Mason District or Falls Church Kiwanis Little Leagues. I think all of them have intermediate-level fall ball for kids who are 12/13 — that would be the better place to start, as your son will be on a slightly smaller field than the full-sized 90’ field of Babe Ruth. If he wants to play on a team in the fall, he should spend time this spring and summer working on throwing, catching and hitting. The other really important piece will be the strategy — knowing when/where to throw or run in different situations. YouTube is good for this. Watching baseball games (especially high school and college, where they make mistakes and there is more variety in plays than the pros) is useful to. He can do it — after all, that’s what rec leagues are for. But it will be a lot less frustrating for him if he goes in with at least a bit of knowledge and skill. [/quote]
