[quote=Anonymous]Our family started out with just wanting to make sure our kids were comfortable enough to play baseball/softball if they had to play it in school.  In my youth, PE was a bit of a nightmare because I wasn't comfortable playing those sports at all.

When I saw they weren't bad, decided to put put them in a rec league and they did pretty well in there.  My older child, started a bit later too and ended up playing the key positions on their teams, catcher, pitcher and centerfielder.  So don't listen to some of the posters that will say 5th/6th grade is way too late, your kid will be competing against kids who have been playing since kindergarten, etc.  There's some truth in it but it's also about the quality of time they played, not just the length of time.

There's a saying or something to play catch with your kids ten minutes a day and I'm a big believer in that.

The only thing I'll add to poster from 11:38 is that while Little League is really well organized, there are other leagues and organizations in the area too.  Not sure where you are but they may be worth looking into too.[/quote]
