[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the last 3 years in my kid’s baseball teams, there are always parents saying that their kids prefer to play soccer/football/other sports. Their kids find baseball boring. These are mostly 8 and 9 years old kids and why do parents do this? Why cannot they just let their kids pick the sports they enjoy?[/quote] Well baseball is a hard sport to learn while soccer is very easy. That is why there are 3 million kids soccer teams. Run around and kick a ball. Try and score in the net. Kids start at age 3. Baseball has a learning curve and the young kids need to learn to hit, catch, throw, run bases, know where to throw it and when, etc... It is a learning game. You need to use your mind and you can't just run around. If you get a great coach who makes it fun, it is awesome. But many aren't. Same with softball. [/quote]
