[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I hired a (less-expensive) trainer/basketball coach for my son at age 10 only for a limited time to teach him proper shooting form...[/b]THAT was a great investment at the time because since then he shoots properly so doesn't have to unlearn bad shooting form. He's 12 now and I still haven't hired him a trainer but at his level, I may consider it now. I do pay for general summer camps and occasional group training sessions (apx $50/hour).[/quote]

This, and the baseball PP above, are examples that make sense, and are reasonable. I can see 8-10+ year-olds getting 1-1 instruction to work on a sport-specific technique. For what you describe for your son, private coaching doesn't seem to be a need at all. [/quote]

NP - Our son has had private baseball coaching off and on from 7 - (now) 10. DS and I have no idea about most baseball technical aspects and we wanted to make sure DS had proper form early on so he didn't get hurt and felt confident. The Little League coaches might be nice guys, but they don't focus on technique at all, just stats (at least here). We have zero expectations for DS to be a star baseball player, but he's not naturally athletic and focusing on technique has really helped him at least not lag behind. [/quote]
