[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, third grade is considered “late” to start, but there won’t be kids that are much much better than him at that age.  Just work with him (play catch) and he should be fine!  My 12yo had kids who were new to the game last year when he played 50/70 (essentially the last year of little league).  
Both ABR and little league are good organizations, but ABR has a draft starting at that age, so you may prefer that versus getting added to an established team.  Little league is also a dying organization in Arlington (fewer teams year to year and ABR is much more popular).  [/quote]

Why is Arlington LL dying? Genuinely curious about this comment and I have no skin in the game.

What makes Arlington Babe Ruth more desirable?[/quote]

I don’t think this is true. Both leagues are dying and it’s why they had to combine into Arlington United at 13u and up. Every sport is year round now and kids want to play lots of sports. It’s hard on the team when kids are missing practice or games for other commitments. [/quote]
