[quote=Anonymous]If OP's kids are fairly athletic, and with basketball background they may have above average hand-eye coordination, they will be fine. It might take half the first season for them to get up to speed with batting.

Spring will bring out all the travel players that might have only done travel in Fall. They do both in the spring because they want to make the LL all star teams.

So, if they like Spring and do decent enough, come Fall they will be above average when there is less competition. This might give them more reps at bat and in the infield so they are better equipped the following spring when it will be the most competitive they will ever see for LL because based on their age that will be about the last year they could conceivably make all stars and go to the LLWS.

Just be prepared that in Spring, since most of the coaches are daddy travel parents, since they don't know your kids they likely will get drafted low and be batting at the bottom of the order until they can prove themselves. Coaches always give priority to travel players in LL and favor wins and showcasing their own kids over development in the spring.[/quote]
