[quote=Anonymous]I know this area is competitive and there are some very competitive local little leagues, but overall I think it's completely normal for kids to start baseball around age 8 and not be very good at first. I agree with others that at this age, the most important part is learning and having fun.

Our little league (in Fairfax County) is not as competitive and my son had no issues as an 8 year old beginner. He picked up baseball quickly with no experience. And to be honest, even if your son isn't super athletic, I see plenty of kids older than 8 who are not great players but still playing at ages 10 and 11. You don't have to be a super star to enjoy playing and we've seen no issues with teammates giving the weaker players a hard time (I'm sure this could happen but I haven't seen it in multiple years of little league with different coaches/teammates).

Depending where you live, there might be non-little league rec options too. For my youngest who is only 5 and not athletic at all, we tried t-ball with i9. That was perfect for him--minimal commitment, but still an opportunity to be on a team and learn the very basics. [/quote]
