[quote=Anonymous]Baseball is a great rec sport for a not-particularly-athletic kid. We absolutely love BCC/Rockville if you're in the Bethesda area. It is very well run/organized and the coaches and other families tend to be really nice.

The most important part of baseball is that you have to practice. It's all about reps. It really is the key to improving and gaining confidence. Make sure to get outside and throw, catch and swing with your DS.  There are a ton of youtube videos to show you how if you're not familiar. It's also a great way to spend time with your kid.We have the best chats while playing catch!

The other important thing to know about baseball is that it's mostly failure and that's okay!! It provides incredible lessons about perseverance,frustration tolerance and being present in the moment (can't waste energy on the last strike when you've got another ball being pitched to you!). As a parent, help set expectations about what success means in baseball and he will feel fantastic when it comes! Good luck--hope you give it a try and he has a great time![/quote]
